motoring.

It’s nothing.

There was a time when I thought that way.

“… …Can we continue like this?”

“Put the blinker on?”

“Ah. Right.”

No, it wasn’t.

There’s a reason he has a license.

“Don’t step on the lane?”

“Ah… This is harder than I thought…”

“Put the blinker on?”

“Ah.”

A gray van staggers through the quiet Euncheon-gu.

『Red light?』

“Ah.”

Squeak!

“Don’t step too hard?”

“Ah.”

Boohoo…

『Blinking?』

“Ah.”

I forgot what I was saying.

I can only exclaim in admiration at the teaching that is more thorough than I expected.

The ‘mediocre things’ that were wandering around the dark Euncheon-gu hid in the alleys to avoid the forklift.

I guess they don’t want to get into a traffic accident due to unlicensed driving.

“You’re learning well… my daughter…”

A woman in a pure white doctor’s gown.

The monster of [Blood Donation Bus].

Is it okay to get off the bus?

Is it okay for me to wander around like this?

Are there any ‘rules’ that need to be followed?

You said you’d teach me how to drive, but is it okay for you to stay by my side the whole time?

All kinds of questions arose.

“Good boy…”

“… … .”

but,

The smile of the woman looking at me from the passenger seat,

Because it’s light and soft like a dandelion seed.

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

I wanted to do something…

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

Even though I know that the grudge will not go away,

I hope that ‘that’s’ heart will be a little lighter.

I moved forward in step with heavy resentment.

“Ah… crosswalk.”

“Step on it?”

“Huh?”

『Should we make more ownerless cars?』

I drove a car that was not in my fortune.

I didn’t hate it.

… … .

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

“… … Okay. I’ll tell Eunha when I meet her. ”

– Thank you…

Beep-.

A little while ago,

Ban Harin ends the phone call with Kang Na-ri.

She looked down at her switched off cell phone with an expression as cold as ice.

“… … .”

Kang Na-ri, the only daughter of the [Cheongryong Family].

A woman with the [Ingredient Swap] skill that changes the ingredients of objects she touches with both hands.

He thoughtlessly took out a loan and ended up living in a semi-basement debtor, but thanks to Eun-ha’s help, he paid off his debt and became a cafe employee… A damn lucky person.

“Tsk…”

Ban Harin, who was thinking of Kang Na-ri who would die of joy if Eun-ha spoke to her just by saying a word at the cafe, clicked her tongue with a displeased expression.

A human who is fortunate enough to be intertwined with the galaxy.

I don’t really like this character.

To be honest, I don’t like anyone except Galaxy.

‘But since I can see the sprouts, I’m secretly setting up a training routine for you, Eunha…’

But, people are people who have to use it even if it means fixing it, and that is the reason why the relationship was created.

Banharin trained the debt collector Kang Na-ri secretly from Eunha.

Even if it’s training, it’s nothing special.

How to move quietly, how to avoid other people’s eyes,

Simple physical training and various things like ‘body strengthening’.

It was quick for me to learn that [the Blue Dragon Family] was the same.

Even in cafes, they make coffee in the kitchen while minimizing any noise as much as possible.

It will be enough to make up for the lack of manpower in [Rare Hunter Protection-Killing] to some extent.

Swish…

Ban Harin, who was adjusting the ‘inverted cross hairpin’ on her bangs, put her cell phone in her suit pocket.

“Who’s calling?”

“Here’s the reserve team member I’m raising these days. How’s the ‘mouse’ doing?”

“The mana I used at dawn has almost returned.”

Banharin’s house is clean with no interior design to speak of, except for the game console in the bedroom.

After finishing his shower, the ‘mouse’ came out into the living room and approached me, wiping his hair with a towel.

She had just finished showering and was wearing only a large bath towel.

Thanks to not being lazy about exercising, the pelvis and lower body exposed under the bath towel were enough to make others envious.

Banharin, who had become accustomed to Eunha’s superior body, handed the hairdryer to the ‘mouse’ with an indifferent expression.

“Did you just think I looked like a wet rat?”

“It’s a delusion of persecution.”

“… … No, more than that, did you look in the bathroom mirror? Did the me in the mirror talk to you? ”

“What did you say?”

“This body is flat so it’s easy to move, what does that mean?”

Oh my.

Banharin, who looked up and down the ‘mouse’s’ body with a cold face, covered her mouth with one hand.

Why is that crazy team leader acting like that this time?

‘Mouse’ felt puzzled, but turned on the hair dryer and started drying his hair.

Wheeingㅡㅡ.

A rat’s tail swaying gently.

The voice of a ‘mouse’ is heard from inside the bathroom.

A breath mixed with laughter leaking out between the palms.

They disappear into oblivion, eaten by noisy hair dryers.

… … .

[Rare Hunter Protection – Killing] Team 1 Leader Ban Harin.

And, the ‘mouse’ who will be working with Banharin from today.

The two are resting at home after receiving some kind of advice from Eunha.

(Ms. Banharin. I’m going to go somewhere for a bit, so don’t even think about looking for me until I contact you separately. I’m really dying.)

(Okay, I don’t know, but please don’t do anything dangerous.)

( …I’ll just get hurt a little.)

(I’ll be angry.)

(No, I told you I gave you an apartment?)

When it came to things related to monsters, the Galaxy’s judgment took precedence over hers, who was a class A hunter.

As for Banharin, there was no reason or justification to refuse, but

Still, I can’t hide my worry, so I just tremble.

“… … Sigh.”

A hot sigh.

The window looked back with a cold face.

I looked out the window, frowning at the still bright sunlight.

In the distance, you can see the ‘Saturday Star Apartment’ where Eunha lives.

Avoid the surrounding buildings,

A location where the windows of ‘room 904′ where she lives are in a straight line.

I bought this house just because it had a good view of the Milky Way.

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

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

– Have you heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul?

– Everyone has privacy, so please refrain from looking into other people’s windows as much as possible.

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

But now, that is no longer possible.

Banharin looked at the ’10th floor’ apartment where all the houses were brightly lit.

An ordinary looking apartment.

At first glance, I didn’t feel any particular sense of discomfort.

But soon you realize.

『… … .』

『… … .』

『… … .』

At one point, he realized that black [silhouettes] appeared in all the windows of the apartment, facing him.

“… … .”

Phage-ish.

[Observation] Banharin’s eyes, which used the skill, emit bright yellow sparks.

What is visible is malice towards people.

A terrible grudge.

Banharin, who habitually wiped away her expressionless face,

He observes the ‘Saebyeol Apartment’ with ‘Mana’ in his golden right eye.

~~.

~~.

One possibility.

If you keep looking at the apartment like this.

“… … .”

A space where the laws of physics are violated.

A brightly lit apartment.

[Silhouettes] looking at themselves.

Banharin turned her gaze away from them and looked only at ‘Room 904’.

“… … .”

The car is also a few minutes away.

Still, it is enough to observe with the naked eye.

“… … .”

yet,

In Banharin’s eyes looking out the window of ‘Room 904’,

The upper body of Eunha, who was getting up from bed, was briefly visible…

bang!!

The head of ‘something’ that came down from ‘room 1004’ on the upper floor,

The windows of ‘Room 904’ are covered as if guarding the galaxy.

The face of ‘something’ could not be identified.

It’s impossible to distinguish his facial features, as he was stabbed with an axe or something.

“That’s rude.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The window opens.

All the windows in the apartment,

The window of the living room where Banharin is located.

[Silhouettes] hidden in the backlight are revealed.

『… … No, no. It wasn’t rude.』

“… … .”

“You were there too. At that orphanage.”

“So that’s why you wanted to protect the young lady so badly?”

The ‘inverted cross hairpin’ on her bangs flutters in the wind.

Knock knock!

Soon, the wind blew through the wide open window,

Our hearts, wide open like windows, meet…

“It’s frustrating to just stay at home.”

“Let’s go out and play.”

“where?”

Ugh!

In the end, in the end.

Fall headfirst into the bedroom of the Galaxy House.

“… … Mr. Banharin? Mr. Banharin!!”

The place I most want to go right now.

The foolish woman fell asleep quietly in your arms.

Rudely.

~~.

~~.

“Haa…! Haa…! Sob…!”

“ㄴ, Nya! Are you okay?! What’s wrong!”

[Observation] Banharin, who had stopped using her skill, was breathing heavily.

The pain of a broken neck and crushed internal organs.

I touched the back of my head, the pain lingering like a hallucination.

The back of my head is still hard.

It didn’t break.

He is alive.

“Haa…… Eunha has returned home. Let’s get ready to go out.”

She tells him to quickly change his clothes and takes down the bath towel wrapped around his body.

I head to the bedroom, listening to the thick swearing of the ‘mouse’, whose body is covered by a thin rat tail.

I feel like my legs will give out if I stay in the living room any longer.

The fear of death and the pain that comes with approaching death are beyond imagination.

Sreung-.

She simply finished preparing to go out.

Put a half-inch long sword into its scabbard and place it in a holster on your thigh.

‘… … Even if it’s just a hallucination, I can’t do it twice.’

Malice towards life.

Now I will never dare to look up at the ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’ again.

If you experience this level of pain over and over again, even the strongest person would go crazy.

I just broke one ‘rule’.

To lose one’s life in such terrible pain.

I realized once again that the galaxy was amazing.

Surviving in that horrible den of monsters.

‘But the good thing is… Eunha is still of sound mind. It seems she hasn’t broken any ‘rules’ yet.’

Even if you break the rules, it will only be once or twice.

Anything more than that and your brain dies.

‘So… Eunha will still be okay.’

That’s probably it.

Have hope.

It’s not too late.

‘Otherwise… I…’

resentment.

The resentment builds up.

Banharin took out some headache medicine from her bosom and swallowed it, then wiped away the cold sweat that was running down her face.

… … .

… … .

How much time has passed?

“Yahoo. I’m here. How’s everything going?”

“Galaxy?”

At that moment, Banharin, who had regained her spirit, left the house with the ‘mouse’ and headed to a car parked nearby.

Galaxy appeared from somewhere and greeted me with a lazy smile.

Banharin, who had not expected that the galaxy would come to him directly, approached him and ‘observed’ his body condition.

It looks like he’s been in a car accident, but he’s fine except for the bruises here and there on his body.

Is this what it means to be slightly hurt?

“Did you walk all the way here alone?”

“It’s a secret.”

Meaningful words. Foxy smile.

As if mixed with something.

Swish…

The galaxy that passed Banharin approaches the ‘mouse’.

As soon as he saw Eunha, the ‘mouse’ who was hiding behind Banharin and fixing her hair greeted her in the most polite voice possible.

“Ahem… Hey, how are you?”

“Hello. How are you?”

“… Do I need to worry?”

“Of course.”

The ‘mouse’, who was unfamiliar with the pure worry, inadvertently turns his gaze.

Whirlyrick…

But her long rat tail wrapped around Eunha’s wrist, showing her delight.

“… … We met at a good time. I wanted to do something for you.”

While out practicing driving, he visits Banharin’s house to give something to ‘Mouse’.

Galaxy, who let out a light laugh like a dandelion, put her hand between her large chest and took something out.

A ring engraved with the shape of an ‘inverted cross’.

This time, [the black man] handed it over along with the ‘gray pill’.

“It’s a gift, so take it. It’s like a talisman that wards off monsters, so don’t take it off your body.”

“Can I accept something like that?”

“If I don’t have this, I’ll be in big trouble.”

I touched the corners of my lips that were swollen.

Eunha approached the ‘mouse’ to put a ring on his finger.

But soon, he looked down at the red ring on his left little finger…

Swish-.

Instead of putting the ring on the mouse’s finger, he put it on its thin tail.

“Huh?”

“I don’t think you should put a ring on someone else’s finger without permission.”

A ‘mouse’ hugging its own tail with a ring on it.

She hid behind Banharin with an ambiguous expression and played with the ‘inverted cross ring’ that Eunha had given her.

“… I will teach the mice the ‘rules’ properly. Don’t worry, we will take responsibility and survive together. ”

“Please.”

Banharin, who had bitten the red-frozen ‘mouse’ from behind, stepped between the two people.

Meanwhile, the wounds remaining on Eunha’s body were completely healed.

Banharin looked at Eunha’s complexion with an expressionless face.

Galaxy of all time.

But it feels different than usual.

Was Eunha the kind of person who would touch someone else’s tail so carelessly?

If it were her usual self, she would have first asked if she could touch me.

She felt an unspeakable sense of discomfort and used her [Observation] skill to look at the galaxy.

Beep!

At that moment, a horn was honked behind Eunha.

Banharin’s golden eyes look over Eunha’s shoulder.

『… … .』

Gray van.

A vehicle that wasn’t there until just now.

The ‘something’ sitting in the passenger seat was looking at Banharin with its head tilted in a strange direction.

On the side of the forklift, the words ‘Neulpurum Emergency Center’ are written in black pen.

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

1-1. If you find a blood donation bus of [Neulpurum Emergency Center] parked on the side of the road while walking.

– Even if you see it, pretend you didn’t see it and pass by. If you have even the slightest suspicion that you saw it, it will approach you.

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

What is that thing that stands there as if guarding the galaxy?

I don’t know for sure, but I vaguely feel that it is the type of monster that you shouldn’t look at.

“… … But, have you heard from Kang Nari?”

“Huh? No?”

Banharin lowered her eyes and quietly changed the subject.

He glances at the tail of the ‘mouse’ moving around rustlingly and clicks his tongue slightly.

“A person died at [Cheongryong General Hospital]. They say someone stole the [Eun-gang Potion] that was supposed to go to the emergency room.”

“Blue dragon…? Another blue dragon?”

” So, Kang Na-ri, the daughter of the [Blue Dragon Family], said she would come forward herself, and asked if Eun-ha would accompany her.”

[Silver Gang Potion] and a story about the hospital.

Aren’t hospitals as full of ghost stories as schools?

While Eunha was quivering her lips in an unknown anxiety,

Banharin begins to tell the story that Kang Na-ri asked her to tell earlier.
