“Go back quietly.”

“Where.”

“Then I have to go back home. Where are I going?”

A summer holiday filled with sunsets.

This is what a middle-aged man who had already arrived at the park said.

Eunha, who was tying her sleepy neck with a choker, looks up at the approaching man with pure eyes.

“… … Goyang…”

“I am Go Young-in.”

Go Young-in, head of the Hunter Association, approached Eunha, interrupting her.

Go Young-in, smartly dressed in a dark gray suit.

He wore round knuckles on both hands, as if he was planning on fighting someone, and a sound similar to a car engine was coming from his metal shoes.

The cat-shaped necklace around her neck sways like a talisman.

Is this something that the head of the association would come visit in person?

Go Young-in inadvertently looked down at Eunha’s blood-stained box tee, then looked around at the devastation at [Euncheon Park] and scratched the back of his head.

… … .

If I were to describe a deserted park in one word, it would be a mess.

Pieces of metal were scattered everywhere, and a blue dragon statue fell on the dirt floor as if it had fallen from its pedestal.

Wounded Eunha and Silver Drops.

and,

Something dented underneath the blue dragon statue.

“Could you… explain what happened?”

This is a very difficult question.

Eunha glanced at the carrier containing the [Black Book] and came up with an excuse she had prepared in advance.

“I received help. Me and Bell didn’t do anything. The person who helped didn’t even see his face, and Mr. Kang Kang-han was crushed by a stone statue.”

“The Hunter Association also has hunters who can distinguish between people’s lies. It’s not a lie, right?”

“I don’t lie.”

“… … I’m going to be busy for a while.”

I’m glad it happened on a weekday when there were fewer people.

Go Young-in looked down at Eunha with eyes that did not know where or how to fix things.

Eunha gave Eunbangul a knee pillow and just looked up at Go Youngin.

“Cat Director.”

“… Tsk, yeah. I’m the cat manager.”

“You’ve gained a lot of muscle.”

“Oh, do you recognize me?”

Go Young-in, who had become more rugged than the last time I saw him, adjusted the look of his suit.

After meeting Eunha, it seems like his mind became clearer and he started exercising again.

The muscles, which had shrunk like tree branches, swelled day by day, to the point where the association suit now looks stuffy.

What is it? I guess it feels good to show off your muscles in front of your soft fists.

I decided to quietly leave the comment that it was like a vacuum-packed bundle of Vienna.

“What’s going on here?”

“The incident will be over. Ms. Eunha’s daily life will not be disturbed by this incident… This is for Ms. Eunha’s safety, so please remain quiet.”

“… … .”

“In the past, you said there was a team to protect Miss Eunha… but it seems like things didn’t work out well.”

Go Young-in gently picks up the knuckles in his hands while looking at Eun Bang-ul, who is lying helpless, and Eun-ha’s blood-stained box tee.

He said that he did not want the existence of Eunha to be known to many people.

‘Is it treated like a monster… It’s better. It’s better than being fooled by weirdos. If I become famous, I want to become famous as a hunter.’

I thought positively.

Eunha listened to the noise coming from afar.

What happened outside the park?

A siren sound like an ambulance is heard.

If you think about it, even before,

Even at [Cheongryong Department Store] where I went to play with Eunbangul, I heard a siren sound like this.

Eunha recalled what happened then and looked around.

Ban Harin is nowhere to be seen.

This is the person who always approaches silently when something happens, but where is he?

Eunha felt an unknown emptiness.

“What happened near the park?”

“The forced hunter’s ‘Red Dragon Guild’ blocked the park for the reason of eradicating villains. And he attacked our ‘agent’ who was on probation for Ms. Eunha.”

Eunha recalled the incident earlier when a building near the park exploded.

It wasn’t a very big explosion, but some people ran away from the flying debris of the building.

Perhaps Van Harin was there.

It’s a guess, but did Gango-han attack Ban Ha-rin, who was protecting Eunha by his side, as a villain after hurting Bangpoul-i in the park?

“… … So, how did it go?”

“All members of the Red Dragon Guild are unable to fight, and ‘two’ of our agents said they are fine except for minor injuries.”

“Wow. Why did you fight there?”

“It’s still under investigation, but let’s just say that the ‘Red Dragon Guild’ led by Kang Do-han was not a very honorable guild.”

Anyway, they destroyed a mid-sized guild.

I don’t know who they are, but they are really great people.

Eunha patted the bunny girl who was tossing and turning in discomfort on the dirt floor.

… … .

After that, it was a boring mess.

Before the association stormed into the park, Eunha and Eunbangul followed Go Youngin to the back gate of the park.

I boarded the car I had prepared in advance and left [Euncheon Park].

They said the association would take care of the rest, and there was nothing Eunha could do separately.

Let’s not worry anymore today.

The association should be used in times like this, when will it be used?

“Thanks to the potion my sister sprinkled on me, I no longer feel pain. It’s a really good potion!”

“Can I not go to the hospital?”

“I can’t go anyway! Eunha doesn’t go to the hospital either.”

Although I was worried about Eunbangul, who injured his side,

The girl showed Eunha her deep scarred side and whispered to her not to worry.

A girl pricking her white rabbit ears.

Sitting next to Eunha in the backseat of the car,

Holding the blood-soaked rabbit doll dearly,

The girl laughed.

Like dreaming,

I slowly reflect on today’s happy holiday.

“… … Let’s play again next time.”

“Next… Yes. Okay… let’s play again.”

Eunha quietly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the girl leaning on her shoulder.

… … .

It’s a somewhat hectic and noisy ending.

It is a difficult holiday that makes your mind complicated.

Nevertheless,

Eunbangul’s bright smile as she checks each and every photo taken today,

The choker on my wrist,

Because it gave her warmth.

At this level, it was a day that could be called quite… happy.

Eunha thought carefully.

… … .

… … .

So, I said goodbye to Eunbangul,

‘Saetstar Apartment’ colored by the setting sun.

Bleak!

Eunha found ‘something’ that had fallen in the 9th floor hallway and burst into awkward laughter.

“Hello. Did you fall today too?”

『… … .』

In a dark hallway, the sunset light seeping through the window illuminates the ‘girl’ lying on the floor.

[Doll girl], wearing pure white teddy bear pajamas, was lying down in the middle of the hallway, looking up at Eunha.

『… … .』

Pure eyes look at the galaxy.

A lonely girl waits for Eunha.

One day, in a world overflowing with dirt,

There is a girl here who has managed to preserve her innocence.

『… … friend.”

“Yes.”

『… … … Well… did you go?』

The girl waited.

Like a pure white doll that fell on the floor.

I hope that you who left will come back.

“… huh. I had a lot of fun.”

“With my friends?”

“Closer than friends, right? Maybe?”

Eunha approached the girl with her usual smiling face.

Trudging. Trudging.

The sound of tired footsteps.

Nevertheless, it is a positive sound.

Soon after, Eunha walked to the bedside of the [doll girl] lying on the floor.

He slowly bent down and poked the girl’s forehead with his finger.

The cold forehead makes Eunha’s fingertips cold.

“I will be sad if I become a lost child.”

Words containing rules and promises.

Then the [Doll Girl] who was lying in the hallway raised her arms.

Are you asking me to hug you?

Eunha bowed towards the girl.

[Doll Girl] hugs Eunha’s neck and clings to her.

Skin as cold as a corpse.

Eunha, who used ‘body enhancement’, held the pure white teddy bear girl like a doll.

“friend. Come on.”

The doll in your arms speaks.

With a grudge that won’t go away.

The lonely girl says.

“… … Are you coming?”

Even though every day is painful,

The stress of not knowing when I might be killed by monsters piles up,

Sometimes, I just sit down on the floor and hold my head…

There was a woman wandering around looking for love.

There was a liar who continued to play with his close friend.

“friend. good.”

and,

There is an innocent girl who wants a friend.

Each with their own grudges,

There are friendly neighbors.

“… … okay. Who would you play with if not me?”

So it’s okay.

If anyone can help.

Because it is the role of a hunter to help those in need.

You can continue to live with a smile.

(In the future, when ■■ grows up healthy and becomes an adult… become a great hunter that everyone looks up to.)

So please,

Just for today,

I hope everyone had a happy day.

“I’ll play with you anytime, let’s get along well from now on?”

With your usual languid smile,

Eunha entered ‘Room 904’ holding [Doll Girl] in her arms.

… … .

… … .

… … .

Wow. Wow.

and.

After a while.

The time when the sunlight goes beyond the horizon.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Residents of ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’,

The monster called [Doll Girl] by Eunha quietly left the building.

His breathing sounds relaxed, perhaps on his way back from playing with Eunha.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

A happy girl left the apartment.

I leave the apartment building and cross the quiet parking lot.

I head towards the entrance of the apartment while holding the whimpering ‘stuffed toy’ in my arms.

The sun will set soon.

In the brightly lit security room, a scary old guard is making a clay doll.

“Hello! We see you again!”

『… … .』

The entrance to the apartment we reached like that.

A cute girl with white rabbit ears pricking up,

He was waving his hand towards the [Doll Girl].

… … .

“This is the monster that was attached to Eunha earlier, right? Is the old man in the security room over there a monster too?”

『… What are you?』

An unknown encounter.

I do not know the reason.

[Doll girl] quietly looked at the brightly smiling bunny girl.

With eyes as black as tar,

A girl with pure white rabbit ears.

Eunbangul was preciously hugging the rabbit doll that Eunha had picked her out today.

In that girl’s hands, she holds ‘someone’s note’ that she once saw.

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

– A monster in Eunha’s sister’s apartment. Not a monster.

– It appeared suddenly. Are there any conditions?

– It appears after passing the doll that fell on the floor.

– A guide attached to the elevator!

– You shouldn’t know! You shouldn’t know! Until there is a way.

– Prepare for the next one. Don’t let Eunha be sad.

– I like you, Eunha.

– I really like it.

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

“It was written in the memo. I dropped the doll on the floor and passed by, and it really came.”

A note written by Eunbangul in ‘Saetstar Apartment’.

Something that could perhaps be called a will.

Today’s silver bell is holding the thing that was scribbled haphazardly.

I took over.

“I thought about it. Are you invisible to strangers? So Eunha kept it a secret.”

『… … .』

“So… I probably shouldn’t go back home now.”

For some reason, he didn’t come back home ‘last time’.

The girl who said that laughs.

The girl who has already prepared for ‘next time’ smiles brightly.

As if taking a picture, the girl looked around the setting sky and Euncheon-gu colored by the setting sun,

He blinked his pitch-black eyes and stared at the [Doll Girl].

“I hope Eunha unnie is happy.”

『… … ?』

“With a problem that can be easily solved like this, I don’t want to bother people who are already having a hard time.”

『What? complicacy.”

“I came to die. So that the next me doesn’t know you.”

Today’s silver bell took a step forward.

One step, one step.

Into the shadows cast over ‘Saetstar Apartment’.

‘But still… dying is scary.’

[Doll Girl] looked at the girl approaching without fear.

A pure heart toward someone was there.

Bleak!

[Doll Girl] gets off the ‘stuffed doll’ and approaches the rabbit.

“you. I saw it last time too.』

“I’m sorry. I don’t remember.”

『People, right?』

“Well, ”

Excited. Excited.

The sound of a pounding heart.

A sound that announces the end is approaching.

Eunbangul looked up at the darkening sky and hugged the stuffed rabbit she had secretly brought.

This is a doll that Eunha chose through a ‘doll drawing’.

I didn’t bring the photos I took today because they were for ‘next time’…

As for this rabbit doll,

As for the gift I received from Eunha ‘today’… I couldn’t let go of it.

‘I was really happy today.’

How great it would be if this happiness could continue into the future.

It was a pity.

A lump in my heart.

What could be called resentment.

But it’s okay.

Because memories are made through photos.

Because the rabbit girl Eunbangul will always be by Eunha’s side.

『… … You, the cow doll, friend?』

At that time, [Doll Girl], who was quietly examining Eunbangul, spoke.

With some interest.

“Dairy cow… Are you Eunha’s friend? Of course!”

『… … … huh. Then, a friend of a friend.』

Bleak!

[Doll Girl] gestures to Eunbangul.

He asked me to come into the apartment.

Looking at Eunbangul with ‘stuffed toys’ that look like animal masks.

There is no choice.

What are you going to do?

『New friend. Appearance.』

like that,

Wow. Wow. Wow. Pfft… Leaving behind cute footsteps like a trace.

Eunbangul entered the apartment with [Doll Girl].

… … .

There are many hardships,

I have a lot of regrets,

Although it is scary,

Still, I can say that I was really happy.

It was that kind of day.

… … .

… … .

… … .

Daughter~.

“Hello, Eunha. Did you have a good holiday?”

“Mr. Ban Harin. What is the bandage on your arm?”

“Do not touch it. The black goat is sleeping.”

“Are you crazy?”

Time passes.

Containing someone’s happiness.

“Bulul. Did you get home safely yesterday? Nothing bad, right? What about Na-ri Kang?”

“Of course, sister~. Nari is living on the second floor until she can find a house. Are you good at cleaning?”

“Really? Thank goodness.”

Hiding their own secrets.

Let’s move forward hoping for each other’s happiness.

like that,

The holidays are over.

… … .

3. If a doll falls in the hallway.

– If it’s an animal-shaped doll, it’s probably an ordinary lost item. Please leave it as is or bring it to the apartment security office.

​

– However, if a human-shaped doll is left in the hallway, please shout out to the doll, “You will be sad if you become lost.”.

– Then the doll’s owner will soon come to retrieve it.

​

​

# caution! It is recommended that you hide immediately after finding lost child.

You might mistake which doll to take.

3-1. The doll that has become a lost child is smiling at you.

– Someday, even if you get lost in the dark,

– Purity will always be by your side.
