I had a dream.

It’s a lonely dream.

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

Now I’m sick of that voice.

Even though I quickly became a D-class hunter… I still don’t know.

What does a hunter do?

What did you do when you became a hunter?

Is there any need for the word ‘hunter’ to exist anymore in this miserable life where we live under the control of monsters?

I still don’t know.

(Welcome to Hanbit Orphanage.)

The scenery changes.

A rural village far from the city.

When I look up in a daze, I see a shabby orphanage on the verge of collapse.

(Did you memorize all the orphanage rules? When you go outside, avoid hunters, and when adults ask where you are from…)

I want to become a hunter.

Because I promised.

Eunha lowered her head as she listened to the orphanage director’s words.

(Don’t play with him.)

( why? )

(The director said that he was a murderer who lived well with his family until he was ■■ ■■ and then killed ■■ ■■ and ran away.)

A story in a dream.

A damn nightmare.

“… … are you okay. Rather good. I wonder how funny their faces will be when I become a hunter and help them later.”

Hanbit Orphanage,

Looking up at memories filled with only resentment.

Eunha closed her eyes.

… … .

Yesterday evening.

A holiday where I had a sword fight with Kim Sarang and played tag with [Invisible Baby].

In the end, the ‘lonely child’,

There were three people.

That’s just the story.

… … .

… … .

“Keuhn…… What kind of dream was this time.”

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~.

In the morning, the trivial alarm sound set by Ban Harin makes me jump around the bedroom.

Eunha woke up and hugged her throbbing head.

My head feels refreshed.

It feels like the stress that clung to me like old grime has been swept away by the waves.

However, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been suffering from nightmares all night.

My back is stiffer than usual, making it difficult to move my body.

‘Tsk. What do people do while they sleep… I guess it’s okay to live though.’

The ‘veranda monster’ comes in through the veranda window every night and leaves after refreshingly washing away her bad feelings.

Of course, the memory itself does not disappear, and as time passes, my head throbs as if the trauma reoccurs…

Thanks to you, I can start every morning with a smile.

My head feels refreshed.

Eunha stood up shakily and expressed her gratitude to the ‘veranda monster’ in her heart.

“There are no babies…”

Giggle~!

A bedroom with only one person left.

Today is a morning where everything looks wide and desolate.

… … .

“A package has arrived for you. Would you like to check it right now?”

“Has the package arrived? To me?”

A peaceful commute to work.

After a long holiday, Eunha heads to the cafe with a new heart.

She inadvertently stopped walking when she heard the words of the elderly security guard guarding the entrance to the apartment.

The brightly lit security room even in the morning gives Eunha a strange sense of relief.

“… … The delivery driver passed away safely, right?”

“Of course. He passed away peacefully.”

“Please, I hope that what we said about ‘going back’ means the same thing.”

I have a headache since morning.

Eunha took a step back at the elder’s kind smile and took out a bundle of bright yellow amulets from her carrier and held them in her hand.

“Hehehe… There is a saying that the end of a relationship is separation. But as you live, there are times when you realize that you have regrets after breaking up.”

“… … .”

“And one day, if even the regret that splits your flesh remains as a faint scar… only then will a relationship come to an end.”

“… Why did you suddenly become senile…”

Okay!

I got hit on the top of my head.

Eunha, holding her head in the unexpectedly spicy honey balm, licks the amulet she took out of the suitcase and sticks it on the elderly man’s glow-in-the-dark vest.

“It’s really nice to see the attitude of trying to win no matter what.”

“Anyway, what kind of delivery is it?”

Rattling.

The elderly security guard smiled kindly and handed me the package he had already packed in his arms.

A small delivery box that fits easily in one hand.

Eunha frowned as she put a talisman on the package just in case.

This is a parcel sent from overseas.

The recipient is Eunbangul.

However, the address is Eunha’s home address.

‘The contents are… artifacts? What is this hybrid?’

I don’t know.

Is this a fun hidden camera from Baulgi?

Eunha received the delivery box and looked at the elderly security guard, but the old man also shook his head and said he didn’t know.

If it’s something the elderly don’t know about, it means it’s not related to a monster at least.

It would be okay to take it to a cafe and ask Bangpolli what it is.

slap.

The elderly man removes the bright yellow amulet from his luminous vest and attaches the amulet to Eunha’s box tee with a kind smile.

An amulet attached near the solar plexus.

Frowning, Eunha lowered her head to remove the amulet.

Because of her large breasts, she couldn’t see the amulet attached to her solar plexus, so she fumbled with her hands and managed to remove it.

Angry.

“Um… Thank you, old man. I will take care of the delivery.”

“Please be careful today as well.”

Greetings at the apartment entrance every rush hour.

Eunha bowed her head to the elderly security guard who always waved at her.

‘… … ‘How did the old man become such a monster?’

A being that is different from other monsters… being kind and humane.

If Eunha had met the elderly person outside the apartment, she would not have been able to tell that the person in front of her was a monster.

A monster that blends in with people.

I shrugged my shoulders as a chill ran down my back.

Kukkuk…

“… … Elderly.”

“Yes, lady.”

“What is behind me?”

“There it is.”

ah. It’s not because it’s creepy.

Someone is really stabbing me in the back.

I’m used to this now.

Do you want to play?

With her usual smiling face, Eunha pretended not to have heard anything and put the delivery box she received from the elderly person into her suitcase.

I need to get to work quickly and drop some bells.

… … .

… … .

“Wow! The package has finally arrived!”

And, the moment Eunha went to work at the cafe without any incident and took out a delivery box from her suitcase.

Eunbangul, with her white rabbit ears pricked up, ran towards her with a bright smile.

Upright!

The puffy hat was blown away by the rising rabbit ears.

Then Ban Ha-rin, who quietly caught the flying hat, threw the hat in a stylish gesture and hit Kang Na-ri.

Eunha ignored the two people who started bickering again today and showed the package to Bang Bang.

“I received it today, what kind of delivery is this?”

“I told you before. The ‘free gift’ will arrive soon. It took a long time because it was imported from overseas.”

Free gift?… Was there such a thing?

In a way, this is a natural reaction for a galaxy that has been experiencing extremely high density recently.

Eunbangul pats Eunha’s chest, which is covered by the cafe apron, with a look on her face that says, ‘That’s right!’

“Last week! Do you remember? Euncheon-gu and I went on a date on holiday!”

“Something big would have happened at the park.”

“I did a prize draw at that time, but I didn’t!”

“… … You did it, right? Maybe?”

The bell that stamps its feet to show that it is angry is cute.

Eunha listened to the rabbit girl’s nagging with a happy smile.

… … .

Last week’s holiday, I spent a day wandering around Euncheon-gu with Eunbangul.

At that time, I picked a rabbit doll from the claw machine room,

After having lunch at [Euncheon Restaurant]…

There was a ‘prize drawing’ at a small street stall.

(Sister! Let’s see if there’s a prize drawing over there!)

(Hurry up, sister~. I pulled out a doll earlier, so let’s pull out this one too!)

A small stall set up between buildings.

A ‘street stall owner’ who covers his face and body with a thick robe.

‘Someone’ with a height similar to Eunbangul.

And with the encouragement of the strangely active Eunbangul, Eunha took on the challenge of drawing a prize.

Luckily, I won the ‘1st prize’ and decided to receive a free gift.

It’s already been over a week since then.

Time goes so slow yet fast.

“So this delivery is the ‘first prize’?”

“This is an ‘artifact’ that I managed to find overseas! When it comes to date gifts, you have to give something ‘real’ to get excited, right?”

“Huh?… I found it, wasn’t it a street vendor prize?”

“… … That’s what the stall owner said!”

A bunny girl with a bright smile begs Eunha to open the package quickly.

I feel a strange sense of discomfort.

A sense that the conversation is not working together.

However, since the other person was Bangul, Eunha checked the small package without saying anything.

… … .

Artifact.

Like a hunter’s skill, an object imbued with special abilities by being contaminated with the mana of the [Rift Field].

Like the skills of a hunter, the abilities of artifacts vary, so artifacts are luxury goods whose prices vary widely depending on their portability and abilities.

“Ta-da! How do you feel?”

“Wait a minute, the manual is… a sticker that lightens the attached object? Is there something like this?”

“That’s right~. How sad was it to see Eunha dragging a heavy suitcase around all the time?”

What was contained in the small delivery box was a single sticker.

It looks like an item called a water sticker, where you can apply water to the contact surface and stick it wherever you want.

Bright red letters written on a round sticker…

Eunha looked down at the sticker that said ‘1++’,

He looks at Eunbangul with a subtle expression.

“I never thought the first place prize would be exactly what Eunha needed. I’m so lucky!”

“Yeah… that’s right.”

1st place prize. An artifact with ‘lightweight’ ability.

Eunha adjusted the ‘leather choker’ around her neck.

The bright yellow bell attached to the choker sways leisurely.

Are you making fun of people?

It’s not about determining the grade of beef, and I don’t know why they keep trying to make people into livestock workers.

Are these stickers imported from abroad? I think this is far-fetched.

‘Okay… How could Baeul-i know what the street vendor prizes were? It must be a coincidence. ‘How much are you willing to do for something like this?’

Anyway, a prize is a prize.

After all, isn’t it a precious ‘artifact’?

No matter what its shape, it must be useful until it wears out.

Eunha and Baeul-i look at each other with anticipation as if it were a gift from her.

I moistened the ‘1++ sticker’ with water and stuck it on the carrier containing the [Black Book].

Huh…

At that moment, a wave of pure white mana spreads out from the sticker and permeates the carrier.

The sensation of an invisible hand lifting the carrier in the opposite direction of gravity.

Eunha waved the suitcase, which was more than half its weight, back and forth and expressed sincere admiration.

Rather than a decrease in mass, it is closer to a weakening of the gravitational force acting on the carrier.

The suitcase was already becoming too heavy to handle due to the ever-increasing number of things to prepare.

I was in a state where I couldn’t climb uphill properly without using ‘Body Strengthening’… When the ‘Lightweight Artifact’ arrived by courier,

It’s beyond embarrassing to the point of absurdity.

“Wow… Is it really an artifact? A street vendor prepared these items as prizes?”

“The important thing is that it can be attached and detached at any time! Since it is a sticker that sticks with water, it can be used in other places besides carriers.”

Eunbangul, who explained things in a simple way like a home shopping employee, was so cute that I hugged him tightly.

The girl in Eunha’s arms pricks up her white rabbit ears! Cheer up and smile happily.

As expected, a smiling face suits Bang Bang.

Eunha hopes that Eunbangul will continue to smile happily,

I swung the lighter carrier around to check the effect of the ‘artifact’.

… … .

Dangling~♪

After the ‘Artifact’ demonstration, the cafe returned to its usual atmosphere.

Eunha kept a smiling face as always and took customers’ orders at the counter.

“Cafe Latte Sister! This… two cups of ‘Galaxy Milk Coffee’! Please wrap it.”

“Yes…”

Feeling fear at the sudden increase in cafe latte sales just because the name was changed,

While I was guarding the checkout counter, I glanced at the ‘1++’ sticker on my suitcase.

I have no idea how to use the ‘lightweight artifact’ that came into my hands overnight.

Can I just stick it on the carrier?

Crackling~.

A guest has arrived.

Eunha placed cool chocolate milk with ice on a tray.

“A lightweight artifact… I wonder what other uses it has.”

“Attach it to your chest. Isn’t it a ‘1++ sticker’?”

“Mr. Ban Harin. Get out.”

Eunha thought.

Lightweight.

Make it light.

… … .

… … If your body is light,

Wouldn’t it not hurt that much if I fell from a high place?

‘Apartment window, [silhouettes]… let’s give it a try.’

The worry was short-lived.

… … .

​4. Please be considerate of your neighbors’ privacy.

… … .

『It’s frustrating to just stay at home.』

“Let’s hang out.”

“Where?”

… … .

Wow!!!

… … .

… … .

『… … Considering our past affection, I would like to ask you, what are you doing?』

“Kehehe… Sis, I’m experimenting… It hurts less than last time.”

Time passed.

7:20 PM.

Eunha lay down in the parking lot of ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’ and waved her hand happily at [Bug Princess] who approached her.

… … .

… … .

『I’m thinking foolish thoughts again today.』

“It’s always like that.”

『… … Don’t think alone. If you have any questions, speak up. Isn’t he Yeo’s companion?』

A passing story.

The story continues after a small incident.

“I’ve been thinking about it… This time, I’m going to get a ‘pill’ from the person downstairs from me.”

“Downstairs? You mean room 804?』

“Yes. Do you know what kind of person he is?”

“I do not know. nothing.”

and,

She collapsed in the apartment parking lot and had a friendly conversation with [Bug Princess].

A bloody woman in a red dress,

He was watching in silence from the veranda of his house.

『… … Not yet.』

Bloody woman.

Eunha’s first relationship.

『Not yet… just a little more…”

She held her right hand, blurred like fog,

It was to capture Eunha’s smiling face with both eyes.
