episode_0232

I met a woman.

Clumsy, beautiful,

A woman with a constant smile on her face.

Even if you cut it with a thin saw and cut it into pieces,

Surviving in the end and smiling cheekily…

The person of destiny that I have been hoping and wishing for for a long time.

“Do you take requests for parts to be cut?”

By meeting her,

The story that had ended begins to move forward again.

… … .

A woman who has found her destiny is happy.

I found a thread of destiny that will never be broken.

It was a grudge for that,

Because it was a hesitation that I couldn’t let go of.

The woman who found the thread of fate hands her thread to ‘you’.

“I passed the E-level exam. Can you congratulate me?”

then.

Putting aside your sad regrets for a moment,

If you let go of the nail you’re holding in your hand.

Where do we go now?

Will you blend in with the Milky Way and let go of your grudges?

“Let’s go. Date.”

you.

You are the one marked by fate.

Please let me know.

please,

to me.

To me, who even let go of the real nails.

… … .

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

Kkeuggeuk! Kkeuggeuk!

Why is that?

Galaxy chewed on the question that kept coming back no matter how many times she threw it away.

The moonlight streaming down from the night sky was beautiful, and Euncheon-gu, without a single light source, was lonely and desolate.

A night when the gray-white moonlight creates shadows in a world of darkness.

Eunha continued sawing, wiping the blood flowing down her cheek.

Kkeuggeuk!

A giant eye that blinks like a full moon in the dark night sky.

Eyes embedded in the sky like grains of sand look down at the galaxy.

Do you have voyeurism?

Bloody tears flow from the twisted eye sockets.

​~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Don’t look up at the sky at night.

– Don’t look up at the sky from an open space.

– Avoid making eye contact with those looking down on you.

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

I don’t know who I’m sawing right now.

Because I can’t see.

“Further right.”

“Here?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s very tough.”

But one of the scariest people in the world was a man who had no eyes,

Behind the scenes, the sawing teacher gives guidance.

Eunha was able to have a fierce first greeting with the monster she met for the first time today.

Kkeuggeuk!

A scream that is difficult to express echoes through the dark Euncheon-gu.

If it was a monster, it wouldn’t die… [Red Woman]’s claws are quite spicy, so she dies even from clumsy sawing.

『Haa… That’s right, picking on… passersby…』

Kagagak!

Holding a grudge over trivial sawing.

He skillfully tore the leather with his soft muscles.

Why is that?

The worries have returned again.

Eunha thought without stopping sawing.

‘What do I want to do in the end… Do I want to help them achieve Buddhahood?’

All I received was pain.

They are the ones who cut off people’s ankles and make them fall on thorny paths.

But why?

When I missed the parasol, I embraced [the red woman] with the determination to die,

Do you keep sawing while having both eyes gouged out?

‘… … Hey, why do we need a reason? We live by helping each other, neighbors.’

Mixed resentment.

The galaxy thought it was easy.

When did you ever live your life thinking about things like that?

I thought that I would rather suffer myself than just watch others suffer.

The foolish thought of ‘because I’m a hunter’ comes and goes from my dark, deep memories.

Knock knock!

The regenerated eye is pulled out again.

Even though the night sky came into view, the sawing did not stop.

The galaxy did not stop.

… … .

… … .

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

2. Euncheon Restaurant welcomes you.

– Enjoy a delicious meal at our family restaurant for those who are tired of waiting.

– Excellent chefs, polite waiters, and delicious ingredients all come together.

2-2. Caution! There is no meat in the restaurant!

– Due to recent shortages in meat supply, our restaurant currently does not offer any menu items containing meat.

-So please, be careful when ordering food.

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

Time passed.

Eunha was absorbed in sawing without thinking.

[The Red Woman] approached her and supported her, holding an umbrella over her.

The night sky is covered by a pitch-black parasol.

Eunha blinked her still recovering eyes and walked towards [Euncheon Restaurant] with relieved steps.

“Thank you. Can I see something?”

『There are a few shops with lights on. A claw machine, a convenience store… over there, a restaurant. ”

In the darkness, moving forward with only a flashlight,

[Red Woman] found a way to replace Eunha, who had injured her eye.

That thing hugging the galaxy’s waist lets out a happy sigh.

It looks like he usually walks around Euncheon-gu, and he arrived at [Euncheon Restaurant] without any hesitation.

“Would you like to order?”

A bloody waiter welcoming regular customer Eunha.

There are human teeth marks all over the body, and the torn off head is placed on a tray held in one hand by a waiter.

The waiter’s head, which had been rolling his bloodshot eyes here and there, spotted Eunha and quickly guided them to an empty table.

Plurng…

A waiter who holds up Eunha’s hand to show her where to find her table, as she has poor eyesight.

But soon, [the red woman] nervously slaps away ‘that thing’s’ hand and makes Eunha sit on the chair.

The waiter left without saying a word, rubbing the back of his cold hands.

Maybe it’s because they occasionally bring in raw meat left behind by [the beast], but I feel like the service of the restaurant staff is getting better day by day.

“Would you like to order?”

“I’ll have a tofu steak.”

“Same thing.”

Eunha bowed her head in thanks.

I place my large chest on the table and order my usual menu.

Then, [Red Woman], sitting across from Eunha, orders Eunha to do the same thing with her fresh eyes.

A simple midnight snack.

After finishing her order, Eunha turned her head to the side, still rubbing her throbbing eyelids.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Keeeek…”

Keuggeuk!

Next to the galaxy.

The ‘monster’ who had been severely chopped off earlier after throwing away a parasol, twisted its body as Eunha sawed it off.

As I said before,

The galaxy did not stop.

To prevent something similar from happening again, we need to catch him and beat him up.

“Keeeek…”

“Hmm. This one is the same.”

“Sometimes you’re a crazy bitch.”

“It’s fortunate that it happens sometimes.”

A monster with an elongated body and neck like a streetlight.

Its entire body was black, and it was squirming like someone who wanted to go to the bathroom at a company dinner.

Is it because the galaxy that just cut him down is burdensome?

But he just sits quietly on his chair without even trying to break free from the grip of the galaxy that is holding his wrist.

I don’t know what kind of rules this monster has, but it seemed to have a weak presence compared to the apartment residents.

Bow.

Soon, the waiter who took the order headed to the kitchen, and [Red Woman], who had been quietly looking around the restaurant, frowned at the ‘monster’ sitting next to Eunha.

“Why is that guy sitting next to me?”

“Then do you want to come over to the side?”

『… … No. He came next to me.”

Kieek…

The monster that got up from its seat flops down next to [Red Woman]… that is, diagonally across from the galaxy.

Surprisingly, he listens well.

‘That thing’ that’s just caressing the wrist that was just sawed off.

But then, when Eunha waved her hand, she flinched and quietly held out her wrist.

Oh, he’s a good guy.

The play.

『Keeeek…!』

But the sawing doesn’t stop.

If I had been late, [the Red Woman’s] eyes would have been plucked out like carrots.

Eunha waited for the food to arrive while exchanging words with the monster ‘outside’ the apartment.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you… But how are you outside the apartment? Do you live in a studio?”

“The North Star. Dazzling.”

“This is my date. Talk to me.”

It’s nice and noisy.

Will there be any subsequent conversation?

The food we ordered arrived soon after, and the awkward meal began.

Galaxy and [Red Woman].

And the ‘outside’ monster that was picked up by chance and ended up joining us.

As I was examining the tofu steak with my eyes that had not fully recovered, [Red Woman], unable to stand it any longer, cuts it into bite-sized pieces and stabs it with a fork.

“Open it.”

“… … Ahㅡ.”

“Close it.”

Accept it quietly.

I can’t believe we’re actually doing something like a date… My neck feels tense and my heart is pounding for no reason.

What kind of expression will [the Red Woman] be making now?

I wish there were only laughter… but it would probably be difficult.

Eunha bit her lip as she recalled [Red Woman] whose entire left arm had become transparent.

“… … Over there, [Red ㅇ…”

“Open it.”

“Ahㅡ.”

“Close it.”

Gulp.

“Colok… [Red Lady] Miss.”

“say.”

“… … Can I see you tomorrow too?”

“I don’t know.”

A question with many implications.

The voice of the woman returning is even filled with longing.

The woman recalled.

A relationship where one side kills and the other side is killed.

The bad relationship that started in May has now turned into a fateful relationship, and in the end, they are sitting across from each other at the same table and eating together.

Although the grudges of the past have not diminished or disappeared,

Could we have let go of the foolishness of embracing each other?

It’s weird thanks to someone so soft and stupid.

Thump. Thump.

The heart that had forgotten to beat for a long time begins to beat again.

『Still, it’s okay.”

“… … .”

“Even if I disappear, you will always be the same… You will smile and reach out to us who have collapsed from exhaustion.”

I guess so.

Even if [the Red Lady] disappears, or if she continues to remain in the apartment.

I’ll get by with a smile.

With recovery skills, you won’t age or die.

Even if everything falls apart over the long years.

You will smile and extend your hand.

Because I lived that kind of life.

“… … .”

My chest feels heavy.

It must be because I have a lot of thoughts.

Eunha slowly opened her eyes, which had almost fully recovered.

… … across the table.

A smile full of regret is seen.

“Haha…”

The galaxy laughed.

Because we’re dating.

Smile languidly.

“Let’s think positively. It’s not like it’s necessarily gone. Or maybe it’s gone because the battery is gone and it’s become transparent.”

He reached out and tapped the translucent back of [the Red Woman’s] hand.

Neither the monsters nor the old guards know why [the red woman] becomes transparent.

I decided not to care about the galaxy either.

“If you keep creating this kind of atmosphere and make eye contact in the apartment hallway tomorrow, it’ll be awkward, right?”

“… … Thank you.”

[Red Woman] quietly bows her head and lets out an awkward smile.

Dalgrak.

After saying that, Eunha continued eating where she had stopped.

There was no more conversation, and the waiter waiting at the table bowed his head to [the red woman] with eyes full of envy.

Then, Eunha accepts the ‘raw meat’ she brought from home and disappears into the kitchen.

『… dazzling.』

The long, slender monster that had been quietly sitting next to [the Red Woman] watched the two women’s salting with interest.

… … .

… … .

After that, it was a series of dates.

After finishing my meal at [Euncheon Restaurant], I walked around the dark Euncheon-gu without any destination in sight.

There was no destination.

I just wanted to move forward without any destination in mind.

Thump, thump.

A woman walking with shoes given to her by Eunha.

Crunch. Crunch.

A bloody woman offers shoes as a gift and walks forward barefoot.

Kkeuggeuk!

“Keeeek…”

“Do you know any good places to walk around?”

I walk through the dark Euncheon-gu, sawing off long, gnarled monsters.

The night sky hidden behind the parasol looked down on the two people, and a cold sensation touched their shoulders as they stood under the narrow parasol.

Before we knew it, it was past dawn.

[Red Woman]’s body gradually becomes transparent.

Even as the woman’s footsteps subtly slowed… Eunha smiled.

“This is special. Don’t leave the apartment at night without permission.”

“I will remember.”

Small talk.

Occasionally sit on a bench at the bus stop and rest your legs.

I did something that I could do even if it wasn’t a date.

“[Red Lady] Have you ever taken a bus? Are you going on a trip later?”

“Where?”

“Anywhere. Anywhere you like.”

“I like being next to you..”

Dating was about finding happiness in a place that was a step away from everyday life.

To a being who is left with only resentment, ‘happiness that escapes the everyday’ is…

After all, it’s such an ordinary thing.

I moved forward doing things that others saw as nothing more than killing time.

『… … .』

As you walk like that, you can see ‘somethings’ clinging to the wall.

This is the wall of ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’.

I came back to the apartment before I knew it.

As I pass them with complicated feelings, I see a brightly lit security office.

There’s no one in the guardhouse, as if they’ve gone on patrol.

“Huh? What are you doing? You’re not coming in. Who told you not to come in?”

『North Star… dazzling…』

A long, gnarled monster that has been quietly following Eunha since [Euncheon Restaurant].

He stopped at the entrance of the apartment to check Eunha’s reaction, then when Eunha told him to come in, he bowed and ran away to where he had been.

But it’s a shame that he was a friend who showed me the way in the dark and followed me around obediently.

Eunha waved and said she would see him again later, and entered the apartment building with [Red Woman].

“Whew… I thought I was going to die.”

“… … .”

A galaxy taking a breather as it escapes the night sky.

She stopped in front of the elevator, following the woman walking one step ahead.

Knock knock,

The sound of a carrier being heard after a long time.

The sound of happy breathing, followed by the sound of a pounding heart.

It’s a sound coming from next to me.

He turns his head and looks at the woman.

“How was your date today? I was lacking a lot.”

The woman looks back at the galaxy.

The face of a blissfully beautiful woman who has just returned from a one-night date appears before my eyes.

“Was it to the point where you wouldn’t even notice someone dying?”

“Thank you.”

Tiingㅡ.

The elevator has arrived.

The elevator light illuminates the dark first floor hallway.

That thing with a fleeting smile like a moth on its lips embraces the galaxy.

“I’ll do it again next time.”

“Thank you.”

Eunha was gently pushed against the wall and was held in the woman’s arms.

Her large breasts are crushed like hotteoks against the woman’s chest.

The woman, with her leg between her thighs to keep her back against the wall and prevent her from collapsing, presses her body against it as if revealing the resentment she has been holding in.

Ah. After dating, is that that ‘there’s no one home’ feeling?

When you get attacked by a monster, your heart races twice as much.

Eunha pressed the button to open the door every time the elevator reached the first floor and closed after a while.

Light comes into the dark hallway.

“I was afraid of the darkness that reached the sky, so I just followed the North Star.”

“Huh?”

“The only light that illuminates us is you who came down from heaven.”

I had a lot to say, but

Because the galaxy’s mouth was quickly closed.

He didn’t say anything.

Wheeingㅡ.

The elevator door opens.

As time passes, the door closes,

Press the button to open it again.

Like someone who is wondering what path to take.

Or, as if to let go of some unfulfilled regret, the woman stood there for a long time, holding Eunha in her arms.

… … .

… … .

Time goes by.

Without waiting for us.

He runs forward, laughing at those who fall behind.

“… … This. This is probably trying to disappear.”

Dawn, when the sky brightens.

Eunha returned home after finishing her date safely.

“Really. Thank you.”

Two dots under the left eye.

In front of the galaxy that wiped away the blood flowing from there,

[The Red Woman] sits on the toilet and looks up at her quietly.

There was an old saw lying on the floor.

… … .

A person who is always positive and smiles a lot.

A person with two attractive moles under his left eye.

After a one-night stand,

It’s time to wake up from your happy dreams.

The galaxy picked up a saw.
