​

Next door to Eunha, in room 905, there was the [Evergreen Emergency Center].

If you think that she’s not some unknown monster, then maybe she’s weird.

Eunha’s mind has been complicated since last night because of the ‘rabbit doll’ and the silver bell.

She asked the ‘blood donor’ she encountered in the dark ward hallway for some headache medicine.

“It’s swollen.”

“No, that’s not it.”

That’s what I heard at the clinic I went to.

Is this hospital okay like this?

Eunha, who was hugging her chest, which was larger than her head, with one arm, looked at the doctor sitting across from her with displeasure.

… … .

This is the doctor I saw in the ward hallway one day.

A bloody doctor with both hands sewn to rusty wheelchair handles.

And behind ‘that thing’, a nurse monster with half of her face cut off vertically stands blankly, her disgusting cut surface clearly exposed.

『… … ?』

“I came here to see if I could get some headache medicine. Maybe it’s because I have a lot on my mind, but my head hurts even when I sleep.”

He gave explanations rather than excuses.

The ‘doctor’ glanced at Eunha’s large chest, which was slowly rising and falling to her breathing, and then returned his gaze with a subtle expression.

A look that says, ‘If that’s not swelling, then what is it?’

But that was only for a moment, as the ‘doctor’, who had been carefully examining Eunha’s smiling face, wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to her.

A piece of paper with unknown characters written on it.

Although it is unreadable, it resembles a prescription used in hospitals.

“You can pick it up at the convenience store.”

“It’s a convenience store. Not a pharmacy.”

“Happiness is something that is obtained by cutting something, but there are also people who need happiness to live in the present.”

“I’ll understand it as something like a placebo effect.”

“She is a trustworthy old woman.”

With those words, the ‘doctor’ stands up from his seat and leaves the examination room, dragging a rusty wheelchair.

It looks like he’s going to make his ward rounds, which had been suspended.

The nurse behind him also follows the doctor’s monster, blood gushing from the cut surface of his face.

Thud. Thud.

The place where the ‘doctor and nurse’ passed was filled with blood.

“… Surprisingly, I feel like I received proper treatment.”

I wonder if they looked favorably on the fact that I have been donating blood regularly.

Eunha hated hospitals for ‘some reason’, but surprisingly, she liked it when a monster, not a human, treated her.

I was able to quietly receive treatment because I was so nervous that I would get sick if I did something foolish.

Hospital treatment at [Neulpureum Emergency Center], where you have land documents…

Eun-ha thought that the hospital was pretty good, except for the fact that the gazes were clearly aimed at her boss’s daughter.

‘The people at this hospital are more friendly than I thought.’

I must come here often again.

“What did you get?”

“I don’t know the letters. I’m going to stop by a convenience store on my way home after finishing work at the cafe.”

As she came out of the examination room, a kind woman in a doctor’s gown greeted her.

It’s a warm morning with a faint smell of disinfectant.

… … .

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

An ordinary daily life.

My head feels refreshed.

After leaving the hospital, Eunha immediately packed her suitcase containing the [Black Book] and went to work at the cafe.

… … .

“Galaxy, are you familiar with the information on [Goryongsan Crack Field] that you will explore this holiday?”

“Yes. I received a gift from Bangul yesterday, so preparations are no problem.”

9 o’clock in the morning.

Banharin’s cold voice.

The sky was clear.

Bright sunlight pours in through the cafe’s transparent glass walls.

“It’s close to Euncheon-gu, and next to [Cheorwon Crack Field], it’s a Crack Field where D-class hunters can roam around without difficulty. There are four of us going, including me, ‘Rat’, Eunha, and Kim Sa-rang.”

Brief introduction to advance information.

Today, Banharin, who doesn’t show even a hint of emotion, quietly heads to the checkout counter.

[Rabbit Latte] run by Eunbangul.

The coffee is ordinary, but the unusual appearance of the staff keeps quite a few customers coming.

Eunha, who took care of the customers’ bills today as well, puts a freshly made pretzel in Banharin’s mouth as she approaches the checkout counter and adjusts her checkered apron.

Sagak-.

The sound of approaching insects.

Eunha patted her refreshing head and went about her daily work at the cafe.

“… … Eunha. Are you feeling unwell?”

“My head hurts.”

“When was that not the case?”

“Do you have a headache too?”

Contrary to her words, Banharin, who showed concern, ‘observed’ Eunha with an expressionless face.

A black blindfold covering the left eye.

The body condition of the galaxy observed through the remaining right eye was normal.

Be healthy.

The physical condition is normal.

“… … .”

Banharin looks like she has a lot to say.

But after much thought, she returned to her table, leaving behind only a few words of advice for the upcoming [Crack Field] expedition.

Eunha greeted the next guest with a smiling face.

… … .

… … .

“Ms. Galaxy. This was sitting on top of the dishwasher. Do you know whose book it is?”

11 am.

Kang Na-ri, who was organizing coffee ingredients in the kitchen, brought a thin book to the counter.

Kang Na-ri approached with her blue hair tousled.

She hands Eunha the ‘novel’ she is holding in her hand, and lightly bumps her shoulder against hers.

“Is that a novel?… [Sword Ghost Reincarnation]…?”

Why is this a familiar title?

Eunha, who received the novel from Kang Na-ri, touched the corners of her stiff lips.

It must be the martial arts novel that Kim Sa-rang always talked about.

Did he leave it behind when he came to work yesterday?

Kim Sa-rang, the only daughter of [Changcheon Sword Master].

Eunha held back a laugh as she thought of her confident demeanor in front of the world.

Kim Sa-rang is closed from the cafe today.

During the upcoming holiday, I will go on an exploration of [the crack field] with the galaxy.

It seems that he ran away from home to find a chance and become stronger.

Are you saying you want to learn swordsmanship from the one called ‘The Swordsman of the Past’?

It was a runaway with the permission of the guild leader, Kim Ha-yang, and it seemed like he had properly attended the academy, so I wasn’t too worried.

If only there hadn’t been an accident.

Eunha, who accepted the novel [The Reincarnation of the Sword Ghost], said to Kang Na-ri.

“This is Kim Sa-rang’s book. I’ll tell her when I see her later.”

“Oh, yes! Please!”

Huh…!

Kang Na-ri smiles shyly, hugs Eun-ha tightly, and runs away to the kitchen.

As the days passed, it felt like the skinship between the people around her was becoming more frequent, but Eunha didn’t really care.

‘Was I really that busy that I had to leave my favorite novel at a cafe?’

[Crack Field] As the expedition date approaches, you feel the surroundings becoming more chaotic.

I looked down at the novel that Kim Sa-rang had left behind.

The Reincarnation of the Sword Ghost, Volume 14.

It was a long novel.

I wonder how much fun it must be for Kim Sa-rang to bring a novel to the cafe.

“… … .”

A little curiosity.

After confirming that there were no customers coming to the checkout counter, Eunha opened the middle page to roughly check the contents.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

The absolute master of gold mining, Cheon Gang-su, has died.

Myocardial infarction caused by arteriosclerosis.

The extremely powerful martial arts that made his body hard drove him to death.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Thump….

I closed the book.

Press your temples firmly with your fingertips,

After looking up at the ceiling,

I open the book again.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Ugh!”

Namgung Hyuk fell back, spitting out blood, after being hit by the normal attack of the leader of the 60-Dang Sect, Bingseolhyeolma.

“My type A blood…! Damn it! Volcano wave!!”

Tuqwaang!!

The ground exploded due to the volcanic wave released by Namgung Hyuk, causing fire damage to the Ice and Snow Demon.

Since the Ice Blood Horse has ice-attribute internal energy, it takes double the damage from fire damage.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

I wonder if books like this are popular these days.

I don’t know if the apartment kids would like it if I showed it to them.

The galaxy that had stopped reading closed the novel.

“Sister Galaxy! What book is that?”

“Okay.”

Eun Bang-ul, who had finished organizing the warehouse, ran over to Eun Ha and hugged her waist.

The prickly, pure white rabbit ears rise high into the sky.

… … .

Thump. Thump.

Always warm.

The warm body temperature of the silver bell.

And then, a pure white rabbit doll comes to mind, like an illusion.

Eunha rested her large chest on the girl’s head and took a deep breath.

“… Bangul-ah. Are you okay?”

“Of course! I cleaned up the warehouse too!”

It was enough for Eunbangul to be happy.

That’s it.

He curled the corners of his mouth up, forcing himself to swallow the words stuck in his throat.

… … .

( “That rabbit. Not just one.” )

yesternight,

A sloppy mirror monster that pretends to be a silver bell and gets captured.

I thought about the story that ‘that thing’ had told me.

Then suddenly I had a headache, so I got a prescription for some headache medicine this morning and am on my way home.

‘Bangul… It’s better not to know. For now, let’s take care of the ‘rabbit doll’ in the apartment. It would be best to keep it from meeting Bangul, right?’

A rabbit must know nothing.

My own worries, my own monsters,

As for ‘Silver Bells of the Future’,

I wish you happiness without worries.

Daughter~♪

At that moment, a guest arrived.

Beep, beep.

A pure white polar bear passing by.

Eunha headed to the kitchen with Eunbangul in her arms.

All it takes is a cup of warm cocoa.

Place a plate full of soft marshmallows.

Beep!

A small hand holding a crow’s foot tightly holds the cocoa in both hands and brings it to my body.

A peaceful daily life.

The only comfortable time for the galaxy.

Today’s cafe had a warm and crazy cocoa flavor.

… … .

… … .

6. Buy happiness at the convenience store.

# When entering a convenience store and the entrance is closed.

– No need to panic. Just pick the item you like the most and take it to the clerk.

– You must use the items you purchase.

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

Time just passed like that,

5:30 p.m.

I hurried to the convenience store because the sunset was getting earlier.

Eunha passed the [Blood Donation Bus] parked right next to her and entered the [Happy Convenience Store].

As we pass through the wide-open automatic doors, fragrant cigarette smoke spreads across the floor and dissipates like smoke.

“Happiness for sale.”

The woman in the blue robe sitting at the convenience store checkout counter spoke in a tired voice.

The robe is blue, embroidered with constellations that I have never seen before. A woman with a long pipe in her mouth looks up at the galaxy.

An unhappy person who buys and sells happiness.

Eunha took out a prescription from [Neulpurum Emergency Center] from her bosom.

“I got a prescription this morning, but it took a long time to get here from the hospital.”

『… … The hospital kid took a liking to the young lady.』

The convenience store owner who accepted the prescription given by Eunha.

‘That thing’, who had roughly read the letters that were not of this world, took out a heavy wooden box from under the counter.

Thud.

A dull sound.

Then, the [convenience store owner] placed the ‘wooden box’ on the counter and opened the lid with a tired face.

The box is full of blood-red, jewel-like things.

“… … .”

It was like human blood had been coagulated and turned into light.

A dazzlingly beautiful blood-red jewel.

I look down at it, which resembles a ‘magic stone’ coming from a demon.

“What is this?”

『Hospital income. After deducting this and that, it goes to the landowner.』

Headache medicine prescribed by the hospital.

It was the financial treatment I had hoped for.

Eun-ha carefully hugged the ‘wooden box’ that [the convenience store owner] had given her.

I realized anew why this place is called [Happiness Convenience Store].

What else is there but happiness?

The galaxy was happy.

… … .

Fragrant cigarette smoke.

I looked at the bloody jewel in the ‘wooden box’ for a long time.

“Breathing, living. It must be happiness to someone.”

“Colok… Huh? What is it?”

“What are you going to do now, Miss?”

Have you been inhaling too much of the cigarette smoke that fills the convenience store?

Eunha, who had vomited out pieces of her lung that had melted along with blood, asked while putting the ‘wooden box’ in her carrier.

The blue robe of the [convenience store owner], who placed his chest as large as his head on the counter, billowed like smoke.

“A young lady who has a building, a car, and even her own hospital… I think that’s a happy life.”

“… … .”

『Are you going to continue being a hunter? Miss, you’ve never had a ‘story’ like a hunter. I think it’ll be the same in the future.』

A question asked simply out of curiosity, not with the intention of teasing.

Eun-ha felt a part of her heart ache at the [convenience store owner’s] pure curiosity.

… … .

(Later, when ■■ grows up healthy and becomes an adult… I hope he becomes a great hunter that everyone looks up to.)

It was a long time ago.

A time when I had no dreams.

Someone’s promise wraps around my neck like a heavy chain.

(Become a hunter who readily lends a helping hand to those in need… Live your life receiving love from many people, making up for the love that this poor mother could not give you.)

Eunha thought positively.

What does it matter?

I want to be a hunter.

I don’t think any other explanations are necessary.

“Umm… Mom, I wanted you to become a hunter.”

“The blood donor kid? Or the monster living next door to you?”

“No. I happen to have three moms, but not your moms… Gulp… My old mom.”

Raise the corners of your mouth.

It was a long time ago.

“Collock.”

He vomited blood in the fragrant cigarette smoke.

At that moment, the [convenience store owner] who always sat at the checkout counter slowly got up and approached Eunha.

Slurp.

A woman wearing a blue robe embroidered with constellations that she had never seen before.

Get up from your chair, put down your pipe,

The ‘thing’ that came towards the galaxy,

He stretched out both arms and hugged her.

A fragrant smell tickles the back of my neck.

“… … This is so uncomfortable.”

Eunha twisted her body as she was hugged by [the convenience store owner].

That woman’s breasts are huge. Are they about the same size as her head?

Their large chests were tightly pressed together, and even though they tried to hug each other’s waist, their arms couldn’t reach, so they could only hold onto each other’s sides.

“Oh, that’s too much. Isn’t it too big?”

“It’s okay because I’m smaller than everyone else.”

Swish…

The automatic door of the convenience store was firmly closed. Euncheon-gu, seen through the glass window, was dark.

As Eunha stares blankly out of the convenience store, the ‘convenience store owner’ puts the pipe he was smoking into Eunha’s mouth.

Sigh…

It’s hard to express,

A fragrant smell.

The first cigarette I ever smoked tasted like lipstick.

“Be happy.”

“Of course I should be happy. But the things I got from the convenience store to make me happy were a cutter knife and a gun.”

“It depends on how you write it.”

Convenience store of happiness.

Selling is happiness.

[The convenience store owner] didn’t show any resentment like the old security guard.

Although it wasn’t a proper hug because their large breasts were pressed together like hotteok,

Eunha thought it was fortunate that she had come to the [Convenience Store of Happiness] just a little bit.

Just a few simple words of wisdom.

[Neulpurum Emergency Center] Was it worth coming here?

Swish…

Soon after, ‘something’ outside the convenience store, [the convenience store owner] and Eunha were hugging each other,

I stare quietly through the window and then return to my apartment.

The sound of claws scraping together footsteps can be heard.

… … .

… … .

“Welcome, Miss… What is that?”

“I received financial treatment.”

September 11th.

Until next holiday,

One day ahead.

Boom!

“Receive a gift.”

“Ah, Red… Hello, Eunhong. What kind of gift is it?”

“Me.”

“I don’t think it’s something you can say while sitting down and looking down on someone.”

D-class hunter Eunha shows the ‘blood jewels’ she brought from the convenience store to the old security guard.

She prepared to explore the [Crack Field] step by step.

… … .

( Miss. During this time, I thought about this world, )

(I’m talking about a place called [Crack Field]… Are you there by any chance…)

Next destination. [Goryongsan Crack Field].

According to Banharin, there is a bug-like monster lurking deep in the mountains…

Sagak-.

A huge castle like a fantasy sits in the center,

They called it a quiet ruin.
