hospital.

I don’t have any good memories.

There will never be another one.

(Is this the child?)

It all started in the hospital.

And it’ll end in a hospital.

The place of birth, the place of pain,

In the end, it was a hospital.

( ……There’s no mana detected…but is this kid really ■■■?)

(Could it be something unknown that came over from the crack…)

As I grow older, by accident, by someone’s grudge,

Also a place where people die without anyone mourning,

In the end, it’ll be a hospital.

(Silver bell… Please call me Silver Bell.)

and,

Also, an encounter with a girl with pure white rabbit ears.

In the end, it was a hospital.

… … .

One day.

No, almost every day.

Eunha hated hospitals.

There is no reason.

… … .

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

Boohoo…

The gray van that broke up with Banharin returned to ‘Saebyeol Apartment’.

Because the sunset that came to end the day knocked on the galaxy.

“Are you just going to bite the mouse’s tail and go back? Let’s have dinner together.”

“Who bit and sucked it? There’s still more to do, so that’s why. Ms. Banharin, don’t wander around for no reason and rest at home.”

I received a ‘gift’ for donating blood.

It’s been a long time since I had a really boring holiday, except for learning how to drive from a weirdo.

Rattling…

The forklift that pulled into the empty parking lot was gray.

The only thing that’s different since I left home is that I have scratches here and there.

thud.

A car that had been lurching forward diagonally crosses the parking line and crashes into a flower bed before finally stopping.

“Oh. Parking is difficult.”

“good job.”

The forklift that stopped so proudly was a crazy guy using the parking lot all by himself.

Only then does Eunha unbuckle her seatbelt and roll out of the forklift.

dump…

She knelt in the parking lot with a bloodless face.

“Oh my. That was scary.”

“Others must have been scared too.”

“… … Ah. Sir.”

“Welcome, miss.”

The greeting from the old security guard is heard without fail.

But perhaps because he tore down the wall when he left the apartment, there was a subtle lingering heaviness in the old man’s voice.

Thud.

The sound of a broken arm recovering from a minor collision.

The old security guard who approached Eunha looked around with a kind face.

Rustle rustle…

Instead of Eunha, a woman in a doctor’s gown, who had turned off the engine and taken the ‘smart key’, got out of the passenger seat and was wiping the bloodstains off the windshield.

“What is that…”

“I’m starting to get the hang of it.”

“Can’t you just take a taxi?”

“Installment. Don’t discourage our child?”

Huh…

The ‘blood donor doctor’ who wiped the blood stains from the windshield approached Eunha.

He hands her the ‘smart key’ he left in the car, and hugs her head warmly like when he drew blood on the [blood donation bus].

“You’re amazing… my daughter.”

A bitter resentment.

Eunha suddenly got up, startled by the distance between her and ‘that thing’ that had suddenly gotten closer.

“Take care?”

Then, ‘that thing’ no longer approached Eunha, but just turned its back and left the apartment.

Again. Again. Again… Glance… Again. Again. Again…

A woman who keeps looking back at the galaxy and raising the corners of her mouth even as she moves away.

What’s so good about it?

This is the first time I’ve seen someone smile so continuously.

Eunha couldn’t understand the meaning of that smile.

“… … Goodbye!”

But I’m sure there’s no bad intention,

Galaxy, who thought positively, smiled and waved her hand.

Even though today’s events,

Receiving gifts and learning to drive from a monster,

I don’t know what meaning it had for that ‘woman’,

After all, the only person they can take out their grudge on is themselves.

I decided to let it go smoothly.

『… … Who is that woman?』

[Red Woman], who had come up to Eunha without her knowing, supported her with a sullen face.

Were you watching from somewhere today?

Eunha, leaning against her with a bloodless face, answered without realizing it.

“Um… Mom?”

『… … !』

A departing blood donor doctor.

[Red Woman] waved her hand along with the galaxy.

what.

… … .

Beatle…

After a while, Eunha turned around with a pale face, confirming that ‘that thing’ had completely disappeared from sight.

Now I want to go home and sleep.

From early morning restaurants to donating blood to driving…

I’ll lie down on the bed as soon as possible and wait for [The Saintess of Oblivion] to come.

“Hoo… Sir, then we’ll go in. Sorry for breaking the wall.”

Knock knock.

Eunha was already walking to the apartment, unsteadily, with the black carrier behind her and supported by [the Red Woman].

… … .

… … .

“… … We can’t just mix things up, so we’ll live in the same house, Miss.”

And, the place where the galaxy left.

An old man left alone in the parking lot looked up at the apartment with a complicated expression.

“… … .”

Eunha enters the apartment, hanging out with the monsters.

Blood was drawn dozens of times, until death.

Despite being horribly sawed over and over again,

Mixing in with them and smiling nonchalantly.

“It really looks like I’m looking at a solid wall.”

A wall that never falls.

Although, the inside of the castle walls were rotten to the core,

But there is no survivor.

The walls never fell.

“… … Mixing is a process.”

The old man muttered as he watched Eunha return home with a smiling face.

For the girl who is struggling to survive among the monsters, he puts down a clay doll he has lovingly made into the backseat of a forklift.

“Mixing is the process in which the lady learns our story and we recall our grudge.”

“The grudge that has faded over time will only leave behind malice, and will turn the pure white pill black.”

A gray van with scratches and dents here and there.

A figure resembling a galaxy that lives being tossed around by monsters.

Kkeuggeuk-.

I lightly pushed the awkwardly parked forklift.

A car parked neatly on the parking line leaves long tire marks.

“So please, stay away from those who hold grudges… I know you won’t listen even if I tell you.”

How did you end up such a reckless girl?

The old man bursts into laughter and sets off to finish repairing the broken wall.

One day during a holiday when the sunset is setting.

It was a boring day.

… … .

… … .

“Haa… Haa… Ugh, I’m out of breath.”

Eunha somehow managed to return to ‘Room 904’ on shaky legs.

[The Red Woman] immediately disappeared with a blank expression on her face as if asking when she had helped Eunha.

As soon as she entered the house, she lay down on the sofa, breathing heavily with a pale, bloodless face.

I’m tired. I’m out of breath.

It feels as if all the blood in my body has been sucked out somewhere.

‘Come to think of it… the forklift that had been stopped for months is now moving well. Did the blood donor mom put gas in it beforehand?’

Maybe it was because I was so nervous, but I kept feeling dizzy and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Other people drive without incident under these stressful conditions.

The dizziness isn’t severe enough to interfere with my driving, but my driving skills are still poor, so I don’t think I’ll be able to drive often.

Tick, tick.

It took a few minutes for the galaxy, which had been sucked dry of its blood by some kind of ‘fuel’, to catch its breath.

Thanks to the [Self-healing] skill, my complexion has returned.

Eunha, who got up from the sofa, checked the time on her smartphone.

7pm.

Outside the window, the sunset is falling and night is coming.

Rattling! Rattling!

The ‘No. 905 Wooden Door’ on the living room wall rattled and showed off its presence.

“… … .”

What you see on your smartphone screen,

A digital clock indicating that it is night and an out-of-range sign.

A mirror-like reflection of one’s own face and upper body.

Someone’s hand on your shoulder.

And, a few texts from Kang Na-ri,

“Ms. Kang Na-ri… I guess we should go to the hospital together…”

Eunha, who was recalling the story she had heard from Banharin, took off her clothes and headed to the bathroom.

… … .

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

It started out as a simple favor.

[Silver Potion] created by giving one’s own blood to Kang Nari.

According to Kang Na-ri, it can even cure terminal cancer like [Galaxy Potion].

Because each of those potions will save someone,

Eunha decided to sell [Eun-gang Potion] to Chief Young-in Ko, who happened to be kind to her.

He said thank you and gave me a lot of money.

‘I asked them to use it only in places where it was absolutely necessary, like the emergency room… but they took it away? Who?’

Thanks to that, I feel like my blood pressure, which had been low, is rising.

I’m lost in thought while getting sprayed by the shower.

What happened at the hospital run by the [Blue Dragon Family].

So, Kang Na-ri said she wanted to step forward herself and asked her to accompany her.

“Hospital… Hospital…”

I don’t know.

Do I really have to go myself?

If you leave it to the association, won’t they take care of it?

The continuing worries.

Galaxy turned off the shower and applied body wash to her body.

‘Um… well, let’s just go. You asked me to do it. When have I ever lived doing what I wanted?’

Soon, Eunha, who thought it was easy, nodded.

The desire to do something.

As did a woman in a doctor’s gown.

That’s enough.

Kang Nari would also like it if we caught the guys who stole the potion together.

Swish…

Galaxy, who had lathered up her body sufficiently, turned on the shower.

Swish.

The water streams are pushed left and right as if something is blocking the head.

A hand extends from behind and applies foam to Eunha’s body.

‘Then I should tell Ms. Kang Na-ri… It’s urgent, so should I leave quickly? I don’t want to empty the cafe again.’

I’m tired, so let’s stop thinking about it.

Something will work out.

Swish.

The galaxy washes away the foam as it is hit by the pouring water.

… … .

Click-.

After some time, I took a quick shower and returned to the living room.

Before I knew it, it was dark outside.

It’s too early to sleep, but it’s too late to do anything.

I’m so tired that I can’t even think about dinner.

Eunha wiped her hair with a wet towel and carefully examined the ‘wooden door number 905’ located on the wall.

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

10. The door leading to the next door needs maintenance.

– It has a similar purpose to an escape ladder.

– Please evacuate to the house next door and the house below in the direction you prefer in case of an emergency.

– It’s okay to go out and play when you feel lonely.

10-1. This door opens only from your house.

– But, get into the habit of checking the door every evening before the sun sets.

– If you notice that the door is slightly open or damaged, you may leave the house with peace of mind and come to the security office at the entrance to your apartment.

– If you go back with the guard, things will go back to the way they were.

#. If you neglect to manage the entrance/exit due to circumstances,

– On that day, the door in question will only open from the opposite side.

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

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about the wooden door.

I wonder who lives in this house.

Curiosity prickles her head, and Eunha purses her lips as she puts her ear against the pitch-black wooden door.

“… … .”

The smell coming through the crack in the door.

The smell of hospital disinfectant.

It’s the scent I just smelled.

“… … Disinfectant… Surely you’re not the mother who donated blood.”

I hope you can be a little more lenient on that.

Isn’t there already a beast mother in the house across the street?

Could the mothers scattered left and right come in through the door in the wall at any time?

“This is a ghost story.”

From now on, I will always check the door next door before going to bed.

Eunha entered the bedroom with a small promise.

… … .

… … creak-.

Yes, the night is deep,

The person downstairs is crawling through the veranda window,

A cozy apartment.

… … .

… … .

“Yes, Eunha! Then, will you go to [Cheongryong General Hospital] with me?”

– N, yes. That’s right.

Late at night.

A luxury housing complex located in Euncheon-gu.

Former debt collector Kang Na-ri expressed her gratitude in a lively voice when she heard Eun-ha’s voice on her cell phone.

She moved out of the semi-basement and still hasn’t found a home, so she still lives at Eunbangul’s house.

Kang Na-ri, leaning against the railing on the second floor, happily changes her phone.

In the first-floor living room, seen from the railing, a cute bunny girl is humming a tune while organizing hundreds of photos.

“Then let’s go straight to the hospital tomorrow. I told President Eunbangul and he said he’ll give Eunha and me paid vacation.”

– Is the cafe okay?

“Don’t worry about that. Go and stay healthy.”

– Ahh.

A space where all kinds of pictures are stuck to the walls and ceiling.

The living room I looked down on was filled with photos of Eunha, and Eunbangul, who was sitting on the sofa organizing the photos, perked up her pure white rabbit ears and looked through each photo of Eunha like a magpie.

Kang Na-ri turned her gaze away from the girl and looked at the second floor hallway where she was standing.

There are pictures of all sorts of weapons, bombs, and the like attached haphazardly.

“… … Ms. Eunha. What kind of person is President Eunbangul?”

– Suddenly?… Just ordinary, right? You’re suspiciously rich and cute.

“… … .”

Am I weird?

Or maybe the galaxy and the silver bell are weird.

… It can’t be strange that the galaxy I love so much,

Kang Na-ri decided that she was strange.

“Then I’ll see you in front of the hospital tomorrow morning… Let’s finish up work quickly and have fun together. I’ll clean up the poop that our [Cheongryong family] makes.”

– Oh… Okay…! I’ll cheer you on.

“Huh? Are you okay, Eunha? What’s going on…”

– It’s nothing! Shut up…

Pirolongㅡ.

The call was disconnected.

What could it be?

Kang Na-ri, frowning, calls Eun-ha again, but the call goes to voicemail, saying she can’t answer.

Did the transmission go out?

I’ll have to ask when I see him at the hospital tomorrow.

“Nari. Are you done with the call?”

“Eww…!”

Then suddenly a voice was heard from behind.

Kang Na-ri, startled, reflexively waved her hand.

Phew!

As Banharin trained, her nimbly swung hand brushed past Eunbangul’s rabbit ears.

“… Boss?”

“What did Eunha say?”

Eun Bang-ul, who came out of the second floor bathroom after washing her hands, asks Kang Na-ri.

“… … ?”

A feeling of discomfort.

She took a step back, leaned her back against the second floor railing, and looked down at the first floor living room.

There was no one in the living room.

Are you tired from making potions so late at night?

“… … Eunha said she’ll come to the hospital too.”

“That’s great~. My sister really hated hospitals~… So that she can get better, please watch over her well?”

“Yes, sir.”

Eun Bang-ul asks Kang Na-ri, who was trying to handle the [Cheongryong General Hospital] case on her own, to take Eun Ha to the hospital on this occasion.

“Sister, you must be happy.”

The girl went down to the first floor, blinking her pitch-black eyes unfocused.

He hums a cheerful tune, bouncing bouncing bouncing.

“… … .”

The phone suddenly disconnected.

The landlord who was on the first floor suddenly appeared from behind.

In the bathroom where the girl came out, there were sticky notes all over the walls and ceiling.

Photos of Eunbangul taken by herself.

House of Pictures.

“I’m scared… Should I just find a house and move out…”

I feel like a character in a horror movie.

Kang Na-ri, leaning against the railing on the second floor, clenched and unclenched her fists as if it were her habit and went into her room.

… … .

Tomorrow, the day I go to [Cheongryong General Hospital] with Eunha.

Just the two of us for once.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s a hospital.”

“Let’s go together?”

“Like.”

I hope nothing happens.
