episode_0288

Holidays are good days.

A day to relax and get away from the daily grind.

Or, it could be a day to break away from the repetitive, hamster-wheel-like routine and try something new.

Because of the galactic holidays that came once a week, I couldn’t rest, but every day was new,

It was the same for the residents of ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’.

A quirky apartment that is more lively on holidays than weekdays.

This time, Eunha, who visited [Goryongsan Crack Field] with her acquaintances, might be making new memories with other people and monsters.

“It’s dyed red, red~.”

But, the first thing in your heart will always be ‘me’.

The woman in the red dress living in apartment number 606 on the 6th floor thought so.

“Everyone is dyed red~.”

Swish… Swish…

The sound of something being wiped with a soft towel. Coming from the bathroom of ‘Room 606’.

The living room, where the cold air was felt, was dark overall because the lights were off, and the only thing that was on was the bathroom, shining like a lighthouse, illuminating the dark hallway.

Swish… Swish…

[Red Lady] kneeling in the bathroom, bending over and doing something carefully

Was wiping it off.

His expression and eyes were not sullen, as if he was dissatisfied with everything.

Her sparkling black eyes, as if looking at a precious treasure, shine darkly like a full moon in the red sunset.

『… … When will you come?』

day off.

Lunch on the day Eunha left the apartment.

The time waiting for you.

The woman carefully wiped someone’s severed left arm with a bloody handkerchief.

Swish… swish…

Does the galaxy know?

‘Room 904’ where two people face each other. After occasionally breaking the rules and getting torn to pieces by old nails.

When she returns to reality after meeting [the black man], and cleans the blood-covered bathroom with her recovered body…

In the pool of blood in the bathroom,

Do you know that some body parts have disappeared without a trace?

I’m not a very smart or meticulous person,

You probably didn’t even notice.

(What did you say?)

(Can I take what I cut?)

(It’s my body.)

(You are mine.)

(Wow… Well, okay. I’m going to give it all to the restaurant since it’s hard to dispose of anyway.)

… … Isn’t that right? Did you know?

I don’t know. I always think about the galaxy.

The woman who had been pressing her temples shook off her worries.

“……i like you.”

I dare say.

Gently caress the galactic debris brought from ‘Room 904’.

At first, I brought it with me because I needed something to saw at home.

And now that I have accepted the ‘cross’ of the galaxy…

Just in case dust accumulates or skin peels off, carefully wiping it with a towel has become a small daily routine.

Even though it was a detached body part, it was warm and soft when skin touched skin.

[Red Woman]’s heart also melts gently.

“I like you. Today too.”

Words I couldn’t say to myself because I was embarrassed.

I return ‘Eunha’, who I had carefully caressed with a handkerchief, to the bathroom bathtub.

‘That thing’, whose lips were pressed against her soft cheek, shoulder, and thigh, shyly got up and left the bathroom.

Happy Holidays.

‘What could he be doing… right now?’

I think I’m filled with happiness.

You said you were going to a place called [Crack Field], I wonder if you’ll get there safely.

I wonder if I’m being fooled by another woman again.

I’m worried.

Ouch!

Then suddenly, I felt a tickle on the back of my neck.

[Red Woman]… Eunhong turned her head and looked out the living room window.

『… …Your back is broken…?』

A minor feeling.

Eunhong had no doubts about her intuition.

Because it is connected to the galaxy by a red thread.

“… See you when you get back.”

Rattling!

[The Red Woman] with a sullen expression opened the front door and went out.

… … .

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

[Goryongsan Crack Field].

In the mountains forming a ridge, there are [mimetic caterpillars] that camouflage themselves as tall trees and look for prey.

In the basin at the center of the ‘Crack’, there are [Shell Worm] that are nothing but shells, guarding a small kingdom in ruins.

The leaves are falling and crumbling, and grayish-white weeds that have lost their vitality cover the ground and buildings.

A warm spring breeze was blowing into a world that had died, unable to survive the winter.

Boom!!

The shocking sound that spread out in an instant caused the old buildings to collapse.

Tick! Tick! Tick!

The sound of a quick second hand.

As Banharin swings her sword, the limbs of the shell-like insect monsters are cut off like jelly.

The sound of a Class A Hunter from the Hunter Association slaying monsters is short and intense.

The galaxy ran as fast as it could along the empty street toward the huge ‘abandoned castle’.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

A worn-out violin that resembles the sound of insects.

It’s a sound that calls itself.

What happened while peacefully exploring the [Crack Field].

The sudden sound of music leads Eunha’s footsteps to the castle.

『Far away! ”

Hot and spicy!

Eunha, who had revealed her honest feelings, kicked the ground.

I just ran.

Even though I used ‘Body Strengthening’, I still walked slowly.

The backpack on her back, the ‘Fly’ in her arms, and her chest larger than her head are all that bother her.

“Why did you insist on following me…! Playing music to attract the demons…!”

Hot! Hot!

“Whew…! Yeah. I guess everyone is curious. [Crack Field] is doing the same thing, so let’s go. ”

Kwajik!!

The front legs of a [shell worm] fly out from behind and lodge themselves in a nearby wall.

Did Banharin blow it away during the fight? Thanks to her deliberately making a loud noise, the demons flocked to that side, making the path ahead of Eunha pleasant.

A-class hunter’s fight… I want to watch it up close. I wonder if I can do that someday.

But Eunha suppressed her curiosity and hurried her legs.

Hot and spicy!

‘Fly’, who got hit in the face by the Milky Way’s chest that shook with every jump.

He pouts and lifts up a ‘flute’ made of bone.

A flute given as a gift by [Bug Princess].

Eunha shook her head cautiously.

“There are people like Banharin next to you. You should blow from a little distance so that we don’t startle each other. You might get hurt for no reason.”

Warm.

The pumpkin bee nods as if it understands and puts the flute it is holding between its soft chest.

Then, as I hugged her chest, which was bigger than my head, my jumping that was dangerously close to falling over regained some stability.

So that’s why the center of gravity is important. Eunha ran hard while patting ‘Fly’ that she was holding.

… … .

Knock!

I just ran.

The road to the castle was long and complicated, like an ant hole.

I entered an alley covered in grayish-white weeds, jumped over a small fence, and turned the corner.

Eunha took in the scenery of the shabby alley.

Sagak-.

One day, a ‘black bug’ passed by along the path while playing along with the mischievous princess’ pranks.

If you pass this road, you will come across a market. The princess who secretly bought some snacks and returned to the castle was scolded by the maids.

(Where did this crazy princess go!?)

Sagak!

I turned the corner. A black bug ran in the opposite direction, crossing the galaxy.

What has passed is just a handful of memories.

The galaxy ran.

He didn’t stop walking or turn his head.

‘Why do I know the way?’

Kkudangtang!

I came out of the alley. My foot got caught in the weeds and I rolled on the ground.

Galaxy, who had turned her body with all her might, fell sideways.

After checking on ‘Fly’ in her arms, the pumpkin bee pinches Eunha’s large chest with the castanets in her hand, saying that she is okay.

Galaxy, who had her mouth wide open and was bitten by the castanets, sat up with a grin.

Eunha looked at the street where she had fallen and gotten up.

The path cleared by the ants is bumpy and covered with gray-white weeds.

Sagak-.

One day, the path that the mischievous princess always took when leaving the castle.

The people, who worked like ants, looked up at the princess’s carriage and made a wish.

( Bug. Have you been to a place like this? Get in the carriage. I feel lonely sitting here alone, so I can only yawn. )

What has left is a memory of the past.

I ran to the castle, passing a carriage approaching from the other side.

He didn’t stop walking, but he turned his head.

I watched the departing carriage with my eyes.

‘This is… the world of [Bug Princess]…’

This is a world where music flows.

A small kingdom where a pitch-black ‘bug’ and a mischievous princess who loves to play live.

In a world that has already died, only memories remain.

Is this the place [Crack Field]?

I walked along a street filled with memories.

(Hey princess, you piece of shit…!)

Wow. Those memories are so harsh.

Eunha passed the alley quickly, wondering if she could hear ‘Fly’.

Warm. Warm.

“Sister, your breasts aren’t turn signals. Just pinch them and let them go.”

The galaxy bitten by the castanets of ‘Fly’ hurried down the road.

The kingdom is gray and covered in frozen weeds.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

I don’t know why.

Why is the world of the home of monsters spread out in [Crack Field]?

What kind of wind blew so that [the bug princess], who was locked in the castle, came here and started playing the violin…

‘What does [Bug Princess]… want to do in the end?’

‘The Black Bug’ who plays the princess.

Once upon a time, [the Red Lady] knocked on the front door and asked to go on a date.

So what does [Bug Princess] wish for?

The galaxy kicked the gray-white world.

(Oh my, my princess. Come to mommy.)

and,

A memory that suddenly came to mind.

Is it because [Bug Princess] is reminiscing about the past?

The galaxy that is somewhat mixed with ‘that’ also has some memories passing through my head.

These are things I had forgotten about.

(Right… isn’t that right? Our princess is special.)

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

A story from when I was young.

After all, we were princesses and princes to someone.

Without having to pretend to be a princess,

In someone’s eyes, she was a princess from the beginning.

‘… … Huh? Wait a minute… Why a princess?… I’m definitely…’

A little bit of discomfort.

A minor twist that I just discovered.

The galaxy ‘perceived’ it.

‘I am definitely… I am… what?’

Bang!

I was distracted by a strange place.

Galaxy, who was running towards the ‘Abandoned Castle’, misses a black hole in the ground and falls inside.

An eerie sensation of the body floating.

Eunha lifted ‘Fly’, who was in her arms, up to her chest with all her might.

Purungㅡ.

The galaxy that fell into the pit let out a sigh.

Fortunately, the backpack on his back and his large chest got caught and he didn’t fall completely, but the important thing was that he fell into a ‘hole’.

“Oh… Wait a minute. Let’s talk about it.”

Galaxy, whose upper body is sticking out of the hole, gives an awkward smile.

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

2. Watch your step.

– Mountain paths where no one has walked are especially dangerous.

– We pray for your safe daily life.

– If you find a round hole big enough for an adult male to fit in,

– Getting closer might not be a good idea.

​~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crunch!! Crunch!

Immediately afterwards, a crunching sound is heard.

Eunha, her body trembling, quickly lowered her head.

It’s okay.

I also fell into [Damari Crack Field] once.

At that time, you lent your lower body to the [Forgetful Saintess] downstairs, so you had no feeling below.

Anyway, it’s nothing special.

Hot and spicy!

‘Fly’, who rolled around and stood up after stepping on the gray-white weeds, approaches Eunha.

The expression on Eunha’s face as she bowed her head was not visible.

“Whew…! Whoosh…! Whoosh…!”

Warm… warm.

“Cluck…! Our princess…! Wait, stay away.”

Eunha lifted her head with difficulty as a hand worriedly patted her head.

She reassured ‘Fly’ with a smiling face.

Urgh! Urgh!

The sound of sharp teeth coming from the hole.

Soon after, Eunha, who was rummaging through the carrier on her back,

He took out a mountaineering pickaxe that looked like a sickle.

The ‘gift box’ that Eunbangul gave me a few days ago when she came to my apartment… It was inside a bundle of survival tools for hunters.

It was a good thing I brought it, even though it was heavy.

Galaxy, who remembered the rabbit girl’s bright smile, hit the uneven floor with her pickaxe and pulled hard.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

A pain that feels like my back is going to break.

Blood flows from the corners of the evil galaxy’s mouth.

I hooked my pickaxe into the grayish-white weeds that covered the ground and pulled hard.

And then, with the sound of something breaking,

Her upper body escapes the dark pit and falls to the dirt floor.

“Callok!”

Something that falls with a thud.

The pungent smell of blood brings back my fading spirit by hanging my pickaxe.

“Huh… Huh… It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt that much. It just stung a little.”

Warm. Warm.

“It’s okay. The building owner won’t die because the upper and lower bodies are separated. He says he’ll survive until he spends all his money, even if it’s just because he feels wronged.”

It’s okay since you’re not dead.

The galaxy lying on the floor looked up at the sky with a smiling face.

The top of the ‘abandoned castle’, located in a corner of the field of vision, comes into view.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

The sound of the violin resonating in the eardrums,

The sound of ‘Fly’s’ breathing as he closed his lips and hugged Eunha,

Raise the galaxy again.

Boom! Kwung!

From afar, the sound of Banharin slaying a monster can be heard.

‘It hurts… but I guess it’s okay since it came to this extent.’

A distance that allows you to reach the ‘abandoned castle’ where you can hear violin performances.

A distance that will not cause any damage to Banharin.

This is enough.

“Our ‘Fly’ princess. [Bug Princess] Are you ready to get a belly button?』

Purur…

“No, don’t blow on someone else’s breast.”

The worries were short.

Eunha took out the flute that was between her breasts.

… … .

… … .

Once upon a time,

A story that has already come to an end,

Little memories.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

The performance continues.

As time passed, winter came,

Even if everyone lies down and is buried in the cold snowflakes.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪ ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♩

~~♬ ㅡㅡ♪

Balcony of the old castle.

‘The Black Bug’ played the violin.

I hope this performance reaches the ‘you’ who has left.

The never-ending performance continues in this place made of memories.

‘Will we ever reach it?’

Looking outside the castle.

Withered trees line the ridge, and the lifeless ruins are covered with frozen weeds.

This is a gray-white world.

A kingdom where the ‘black bug’ lives, hoping that everything will end, but it will never end.

Our relationship has always been a joke.

‘You were always joking. I was always lying.’

Because jokes and lies cannot contain sincerity,

We put our heart into the resonating tune.

‘But our performance was sincere.’

​

A beautiful strand of melody.

A lonely sound flowing in a ruined world.

I hope we can reach it someday,

‘The Black Bug’ played the violin.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

… … ♪

And, finally,

To the beautiful melody of the insect,

A single, clumsy melody blends in gently.

​

​

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

​

​

The sound of the flute is heard with difficulty.

Then the tinkling sound of castanets joins in.

The ‘black bug’ looked outside the castle again.

Gugugugugugu…!

It was a bug.

A gray world where everyone has left.

The ground covered with frozen weeds shook, and black insects began to swarm out from the dirt.

Sagak. Sagak.

Pararararak!

Such as raccoons, spiders, and songbirds,

Black, insignificant bugs.

The flapping of their wings and the sound of their feet stamping on the ground blend together into a flowing melody, creating a single harmony.

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

– We sing.

– Room 1003, with our mischievous princess.

– Our concert welcomes you!

0. Please listen to our song.

– A once in a lifetime opportunity to hear the most ecstatic and delicious music in the world.

– Please, let us play your score.

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

A concert of insects.

The gray-white world turns black.

They eat weeds, stir up the ground, and tear down buildings.

It begins to bring a new spring to the land where winter has ended.

“……her…”

‘The Black Bug’ is [Bug Princess].

I put down my violin, leaned against the balcony, and watched the ‘kingdom’ crumbling.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

Even though the girl stopped playing,

The music goes on.

Kwaaang!

At that moment, the ground shook and a giant songbird rose up.

A song machine the size of a subway train… originally named ‘Grace’.

Above the head of ‘Grace’, who was approaching the castle while digging through the ground, there was a woman playing the flute with poor skills.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

A giant songbird, ‘Grace’, approached the building and poked its head onto the castle’s balcony.

I raised my body with all my might and crossed the deep moat surrounding the castle.

It reached ‘you’.

『Colok… Hello.”

『… … .』

The girl who put down the parasol blinks.

After climbing onto Grace’s head and reaching the balcony, Eunha puts down her flute and smiles languidly.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

Even though the two people stopped playing,

The melody continued.

Po-ok!

The pumpkin bee that was in the embrace of the galaxy runs towards the ‘black bug’ and hugs its waist.

Purur……!

Ticklish warmth.

[Bug Princess] stared blankly at the galaxy.

Its two eyes, the eyes look up at the North Star.

『… … You finally came.』

“I came to see our princess’s belly button. Are you playing music in the dangerous [Crack Field]?”

“Where did your pants go?”

“I gave it to the magpie.”

The galaxy laughed.

As always.

“Princess… To you, am I a princess? Not a bug?”

“Of course. She dresses up like that and acts all cool, but if she’s not a princess, what else is she?”

“What?”

“There are many stories about princesses who are locked in castles.”

Give a compliment.

[Bug Princess] looked at the scenery outside the castle.

Behind the smile of the galaxy,

I see a pitch-black wave that turns the gray world upside down.

‘That thing’ looked down at his hand.

One violin.

How long have you been playing in this castle?

『… … I just played the role of a naughty princess, but you made me into a princess.』

Sagak-.

The sound of insects running down the hem of her skirt approached Eunha.

I stepped onto the balcony railing and climbed up, lightly kicking the ground.

The princess who ran out of the castle is held in Eunha’s arms.

(Behold, the kingdom of You that you have created.)

(The one who covered the kingdom, where every day was the same, with bright colors… was none other than a single black bug.)

Something the naughty princess once said to a bug.

‘The Black Bug’ is [Bug Princess].

He finally looks up at the starlight and raises the corners of his mouth.

“Can you see it? It is the kingdom of Yu that you created.”

“Huh?”

『The one who dyed the kingdom, where every day was the same, black as the night sky… was none other than ‘you’, the one ‘I’ love.』

Share compliments.

One day, the mischievous princess must have felt this way too.

Sagak-.

The sound of insect footsteps.

The sound of cicadas moving away.

So, the princess finally left the castle,

He smiled like a mischievous child, sat on Eunha’s thigh and hugged her neck.

“It’s done because it’s reached.”

​

​

A beautiful strand of melody.

A lonely sound flowing in a ruined world.

​

Then, a clumsy melody blended in gently,

The melody of ‘2’ spreads across the gray-white world.

​

​

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

​

​

In the end,

​

Enough to forget the face of ‘you’, my only friend,

After a long time,

​

​

Our song reached you.

​
