A story about a family that loves each other.

[Changcheon Sword] is home to the fearsome Cerberus.

Choaack!

3pm. Somewhere on the northern border.

Kim Ha-yang, the guild leader of [Changcheon Swordsman], was slaughtering the monsters crossing the border today.

She let out a heavy sigh, wiping the monster’s blood off her blade.

“Sigh…”

“Why are you like that, Guild Leader?”

“Jjongi is sick.”

Tsutsuji!

The right arm, which is hanging down, shakes from side to side.

The sound of the tip of the longsword in hand rubbing against the floor.

Wedge!!

Then, the blade that was dragging on the floor is swung at an invisible speed.

The monster hiding in the grass is split in half along with the surrounding trees.

“Ugh!”

A quadrupedal monster that lunges at moving objects and looks at them.

The ‘Flying Suicide Gorani’ lets out a loud bang, and immediately its mana goes wild, causing a huge explosion.

Kwaaang!

There was no chance of being caught in the explosion. The monster was cut down from dozens of meters away.

The blowing wind only makes Kim Ha-yang’s pure white uniform flutter.

Tsutsuji…

A-class hunter with the [Friction Conversion] skill that converts friction into kinetic energy.

Kim Ha-yang bit her lip again, rubbing the tip of the knife against the floor.

‘I have to go home quickly, I have a lot of work to do.’

I feel depressed.

Jong-i, who was discharged from the hospital, is getting worse day by day, and he has no intention of ending his guild work as usual.

What if something goes wrong with Jong-i while I’m not home?

I don’t want to imagine it.

I walk faster, afraid that my daughter will experience the pain of separation alone.

“… … Where is this place.”

“This is Border Zone 3.”

“I’m done organizing the area, so I’ll go back.”

“You must attend the guild meeting at 4pm. If you go alone, you will get lost, so I will guide you.”

“Can’t we do it tomorrow?”

“It’s been three days since I’ve been procrastinating. Today is really not going to work.”

A hunter who follows Kim Ha-yang around like a secretary and recites her schedule.

… … Isn’t that right? Was she a real secretary, not just like a secretary?

Anyway, Kim Ha-yang, who had cleared out the nearby monsters, came down the mountain under the guidance of her secretary.

Whewww.

What greets her, who cannot see, is the autumn breeze that is cooler than before.

Roughly speaking, it would be around 4 or 5 pm.

I can’t have dinner at home today either.

I hope that nothing happens to your daughter and Jong-i.

‘But since Eunha is with me today…’

Tsutsuji.

The sound of a blade being dragged across the floor.

I shook off the strange feeling of anxiety and left the mountain path.

I got a call~ It’s a message~ Did I get fooled?

I got a call~ It’s a message~ Did I get fooled?

Immediately afterwards, a sound is heard from a cell phone within range.

She couldn’t use a touch phone because she couldn’t see. Kim Ha-yang took out her old-fashioned flip phone that was ringing and answered the ‘phone call’.

Beep-.

There is no need to check whose phone it is.

Because I can’t see it.

Because of that, I get quite tired during election season.

“Yes, this is Kim Ha-yang.”

– Oh my god.

“… … ?”

Luckily, this time it was a call from my daughter, Kim Sa-rang.

That happens sometimes.

Normally I say it straight, “Oh my god,” but when I get flustered, I say “Ma” more often.

There have been many embarrassing events.

Kim Ha-yang, who had been hiding her anxiety until just now, stops the secretary who was following her.

“Yes, love. What’s going on?”

What could be causing your call?

An errand to buy some snacks when you come?

Are you being childish and not wanting to study?

Or did the Milky Way eventually catch up to you and you need a new family register?

Whatever it is, it’s already prepared.

Because I’m so stupid, I have to move whenever I think of something so that I can forget it with peace of mind.

-Jjongi… Our Jjongi…

Thump. Thump.

But, to Kim Sa-rang’s words that sound like a tail continuing on,

Mother Kim Ha-yang felt her eyes going dark.

Jong-i.

A child who gets sicker day by day.

A sudden phone call from my daughter.

‘No way… No way…!’

Anxiety robs us of our peace of mind.

Kim Ha-yang closed her eyes tightly and waited for her daughter to speak.

– Our Jong-i, the Banrohwan-dong…!

Pirolong.

I hung up the phone.

Nothing came into my ears.

What is that, Banrohwandong?

Anyway, it must mean that Jong-i was wrong.

‘Jjong-ah… In the end, things turned out like this…’

A stuffy mind creates a clot.

Right now, the only image in her head is of her daughter hugging Jong-i and shedding tears.

Have to go.

Because we’re family.

A bad mother who made her daughter lonely by saying she was busy.

A companion dog that stayed by Kim Sa-rang’s side in her stead.

‘My love.’

Choaack!

Kim Ha-yang, who had gathered mana, lowered her posture.

Move your right foot in a semicircle on the ground, rubbing the sole of your shoe against the ground as much as possible.

Using the [Friction Conversion] skill,

Boom!

Kim Ha-yang, who hit the ground with a loud noise, disappears in an instant.

“Wait a minute! Guild Master! This dog…”

The secretary’s unjust cries.

Kim Ha-yang ran frantically to the [Changcheon Sword Master] guild building, deafened by the sound of her pounding heart.

… … .

Boom!

“Love!”

From the mountain road at the border, it takes only 10 minutes to reach the top of the mountain near Euncheon-gu.

Kim Ha-yang arrived at the guild building, kicked the wall that was in the way to break it down and entered.

As I enter the yard, gasping for breath due to the sudden decrease in mana, I see Kim Sa-rang jumping out of the main building in surprise at the loud noise.

“Oh my god? You’re already getting off work…”

“Love…!”

Knock!

Kim Ha-yang, who discovered Kim Sa-rang, ran to her.

The serious face of the mother who is getting closer in an instant.

Kim Sa-rang instinctively crossed her arms in front of her chest to protect her body.

Tsutsu!

Regardless, Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang struck both of Kim Sa-rang’s elbows with his hand, releasing her guard.

He dives into his daughter’s empty arms and hugs her tightly.

Thud-.

Kim Sa-rang, who was subdued in an instant, falls to her knees in defeat.

“I lost…”

“I’m sorry, love. I couldn’t be there for you…”

A mother and daughter knelt in the yard, hugging each other.

Mother Kim Ha-yang,

I sincerely comforted my daughter who had to leave Jong-i alone.

“Wow…”

… but soon after,

Go out through the wide open main building entrance,

At the sight of a stray dog running towards the yard, making a pitiful cry,

Kim Ha-yang’s body, which had been comforting Kim Sa-rang, froze like a stone statue.

… … .

If you were just seeing things in the dark until just now,

My mind is blank right now.

In other words, this is the usual Kim Ha-yang.

“What is that?”

“It’s a mess.”

Banharin and the ‘mouse’ hiding in the ceiling.

They watched the chaos unfolding in the yard as if they were watching a fire across the river.

“Wow…Wow…”

A building with a design that looks like it came out of a martial arts novel.

The old wall was shattered into pieces.

In the yard, a mother and daughter with stone heads are seen embracing each other, and a dog is seen trying to squeeze between them.

“… … Jjong-ah… Is that Jjong-i…? But how…”

“Wow…”

Coming in between Kim Sa-rang’s pitch-black uniform and Kim Ha-yang’s pure white uniform,

A gray-haired sled dog.

A healthy puppy wagging its tail vigorously, as if it had just entered adulthood.

How is it that a child who was barely able to get up until this morning?

Kim Ha-yang, who pushed away the daughter she was holding in her arms, touched Jong-i’s face.

Kim Sa-rang, who was pushed aside, lies down in the yard and recalls Kim Ha-yang’s movements just a moment ago.

‘How? I heard that [Silver Potion] doesn’t help with aging or physical deterioration.’

I petted the panting stray dog with a happy heart.

Jong-i is right. But it’s different.

The rapid breathing, the anxious heartbeat, and the trembling forelegs were gone.

A recovered sapling licks Kim Ha-yang’s face.

Am I dreaming?

“Cough… Ah, Guild Master. You’re here early.”

And finally,

The questions that plague Kim Ha-yang’s hard head are,

I melted without a trace at the smile of the woman who approached me with a feeble gait.

… … .

… … .

Euncheon-gu Malrangjumeok.

Promotion test is prohibited.

Since when did it start?

The reason why Kim Ha-yang, the guild leader of [Changcheon Swordsman], became interested in the hunter Eunha-ha was because

(Galaxy Hunter, aging has stopped.)

The first was scout Jeong So-ra.

A person who watched the Galaxy’s E-class promotion test.

Did you say that you have the skill to restore muscle mass gained through training to its original state?

He requested support, saying that the galaxy should be included in [Changcheon Sword Master], as it is worth studying.

(Have you ever seen stars?)

(Aren’t you interested in eternal life?)

Of course, Kim Ha-yang refused.

Research to stop aging? I didn’t want to do the same thing as those ‘orphanage’ guys.

‘We need to bring him from [Changcheon Sword] for protection purposes, not for research purposes. If he has that level of recovery skills… he could be a victim of the orphanage.’

A decision based more on intuition than reasoning.

And soon after, scout Jeong So-ra also began to truly care for Eunha.

I thought he was a good person, so I tried to get close to my daughter, Kim Sa-rang.

A relationship that started with a light touch.

Now it has become so deep in Kim Ha-yang’s life that it cannot be ignored.

(If, by the way, more time could be given to Jong-i, what would the guild leader do?)

I remember what Eunha said last night.

If Jong-i is given time.

And now, just as she said, Jong-i is healthy.

It’s clear what the galaxy did.

“Oh my! Listen. Jong-i died and came back to life! Eunha Do-ryeo saved him!”

“… … .”

“It was worth following me and building up my internal energy little by little. Since Jong-i became a master of Banro Hwan-dong, [Changcheon Sword] is solid.”

“Isn’t it going smoothly, Ms. Kim Sa-rang?”

Eunha leaned against the main entrance as if she had no more strength to walk.

Kim Ha-yang got up from her seat and approached her.

The black uniform that Eunha was wearing was unusually large.

Her hands were also covered by her billowy sleeves, so no skin could be seen except for her face.

As if trying to hide a scar that had not healed properly.

“… … .”

Kim Ha-yang with both eyes closed.

She stopped in front of the galaxy.

Eunha waited for Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang to speak while thinking of an excuse.

“… … Galaxy Yang.”

I have a lot to ask.

There are only things that are incomprehensible.

How did you save Jong-i, what was the price?

What will you demand in return for saving Jong-i?

“… … .”

But, Kim Ha-yang knows.

Even she, who was stupid, could figure it out.

What you need to get out of your mind right now is not a question mark.

“Thank you sincerely…”

“… … .”

“Thank you so much for saving my beloved family.”

Bow…

Kim Ha-yang towards the galaxy,

Bowing with all your respect,

I did a handstand.

Galaxy, bewildered by the unexpected Grandel, took a step back.

“Wow…”

A stray dog running around the yard.

It was an afternoon when the sound of Jong-i’s pitiful crying was so clear.

… … .

… … .

“I see… [Eun-gang Potion] is a potion that dilutes the original solution. The one that was fed to Jong-i must be that original solution.”

“That’s right.”

Time passed.

An evening with a setting sun.

One afternoon, when Scout Jeong So-ra discovered a collapsed wall and started nagging Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang.

Eun-ha is sitting on the veranda with Kim Ha-yang, who is feeling down.

The distance between us when sitting next to each other is such that our shoulders almost touch.

Eunha looked out into the yard, hugging her chest, which kept bumping into Kim Ha-yang’s arm.

“Ugh… Ugh… Take this! Twelve Thousand Heavenly Flowers!”

WHEEK!

In the yard, Kim Sa-rang and Jjong-i are throwing a frisbee.

Jong-i, who ran quickly, jumped up and caught the discus thrown by Kim Sa-rang.

“Wow…”

Jong-i runs to Kim Sa-rang and puts down the disc.

It really is true that discus throwing is your specialty.

However, if you look at it from afar, it somehow looks like Jong-i is playing with Kim Sa-rang.

Eunha smiled complicatedly as she watched Jongi’s tireless energy.

“… … I don’t know the side effects of the ‘original potion’ because there are too few samples. Kang Na-ri says she sometimes feels like drinking my blood.”

“Don’t worry. Me, Sarang, and Jjong… because we trust Eunha Yang. Those who took [Eun-gang Potion] also said that they didn’t complain of any particular side effects, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

A world where the sunset is setting.

A time to sit still like a wise old man and watch the setting sun.

Eunha looked back at Kim Ha-yang, who was sitting next to her.

As he twists his upper body, his large breasts hit hers.

A woman with her eyes tightly shut.

The pure white uniform resembles a beautiful butterfly.

“… … Would you like a potion of pure essence later?”

“No.”

Kim Ha-yang, who understood what Eun-ha meant, touches her eyes.

In the yard, Kim Sa-rang, tired from playing, is lying down in the yard and petting Jjong-i.

“It’s okay if my eyes don’t get fixed. The guild leader of [Changcheon Swordsman] has more eyes on him than Eunha Yang thinks.”

“… … .”

“Once your eyes recover, people will find out why. Since your physical defects can’t be fixed even with [Silver Potion]… Before long, all the unnecessary attention will be on Eunha Yang.”

“… You seem to have a lot of thoughts.”

“It’s experience.”

joy.

Kim Ha-yang, whose face somehow seemed proud, straightened her shoulders.

The galaxy that had bumped into her elbow quietly steps aside.

Swish…

Kim Ha-yang moved to follow the retreating galaxy.

Again, we put our shoulders together and let out a satisfied sigh.

what.

“Wow…”

Nothing much happened after that.

Kim Ha-yang repeatedly expressed her gratitude, saying that she would somehow repay the favor of saving Jong-i.

Although he didn’t express it, he seemed very concerned that I had neglected my family relationships while being busy with guild work.

Wasn’t the earnest desire to save Jong-i the same for both Kim Sa-rang and Kim Ha-yang?

Because we are precious family.

“Um… Then, Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang. Can you do me a favor?”

“Anything. Will our love accept it?”

“Not that,”

“Something like that.”

“You know Detective Do Jong-ha, right? I heard it too, but Mr. Do Jong-ha and 5 other employees of the detective agency are being targeted by the [Blue Dragon Guild]. If it’s okay with you, can you protect them?”

“… … Is this a favor for others in this situation… I understand.”

There was a lot of talk about miscellaneous things like that.

Kim Ha-yang, whose gaze toward Eun-ha was dripping with honey, granted all of her requests, and at that time, Kim Sa-rang, who was tired of playing in the yard, approached Eun-ha.

“Hehe… Hehe… Eunha Doryeo… Give me something to drink.”

“It doesn’t come out.”

“… … ? No, that, that’s what I meant, asking for the water jug next to me. ”

Ouch.

Kim Sa-rang sitting on the veranda.

Eunha shook her shoulders at her words and handed her the water jug standing next to her.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

“What kind of treatment do you receive on a daily basis?”

When I hear those words from Kim Sa-rang, I somehow feel like I’ve lost.

Eunha looked down at Jongi, who was cautiously approaching her, and smiled her usual languid smile.

“Wow…”

Jong-i, with his posture lowered, barks at Eun-ha.

Standing between Kim Sa-rang and her.

A scoundrel that chases away evil spirits.

From the time he went to find Jong-i’s soul, the child began to be wary of Eun-ha.

“Wow…Wow…”

I’m not an enemy. I’m scared.

If you think about it, it’s probably a natural reaction.

It’s a little lonely.

“Oh, Mr. Jong-i. How rude to your benefactor. You, the brains of our family, should know.”

“That’s because I’m smart. I’m okay.”

“Umm…… Then, I will lick it for you.”

“You’re crazy.”

Conversations with Kim Sa-rang are always like this.

Eunha burst into laughter and got up from the veranda.

“Wow…”

Only then did Jong-i, who had come up to the main hall, look at Eun-ha’s expression, bow his head, and go into the arms of Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang.

Is it an illusion that I feel noticeably smarter after drinking the ‘Original Potion’?

The galaxy quietly retreated.

She watched the three families chatting away.

“Jjong-ah… I ask for your continued support of Sarang.”

Happy family.

What is contained in the laughter they share as they look at each other?

I couldn’t figure it out.

Because Eunha doesn’t have a family.

“… … .”

Galaxy stopped far away in a dark hallway.

She turned away quietly.

If you go there, you can no longer call it a happy ending.

I decided to give up my seat.

“Galaxy is gone?”

“I’ll go get some fresh air for a bit.”

I hope you, my beloved, are happy.

As I walked down the dark hallway, I let out a small wish into the setting sun.

… … Crunch.

At that time,

In front of the galaxy that was turning the corner,

A woman in a pure white dress blocks the way.

“Mr. Eunhong (紅).”

“… … .”

[Red Lady].

There was no answer.

Just now, with the same look in my eyes as that puppy family,

Just staring at the galaxy.

Swish…

‘That thing’ approaches with careful steps and embraces the galaxy.

“Don’t get sick.”

“… … .”

Why is that,

The words of ‘that thing’ telling me not to get sick,

It came to me in an unusually painful way.

… … .

I was sick.

When I ran down the dark hallway to find Jongi,

Every time I ran, the knife stuck in my stomach would open the wound and it was painful.

Every time the ‘clay doll’ broke, my whole body fell apart.

My insides were twisted and I vomited blood.

“… … .”

I don’t want to be sick.

How long will I have to suffer?

Will I be at ease when I die?

Can you die?

“I hope you, my love, are happy.”

“… … .”

“You are a sick person, but you are not a lonely person.”

Happy family.

What is contained in the laughter they share as they look at each other?

…any,

I thought I knew.

“Thank you.”

The galaxy, a little more.

I decided to try to live strong.

“Galaxy, are you feeling okay?”

“I won’t budge.”

So, the ‘mouse’ and Banharin who were hiding in the ceiling approached Eunha,

The galaxy walked with them.

Daaengㅡㅡㅡ.

The setting sun is golden.

Even if it’s nothing,

I hope everyone is happy.

Daaengㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ.

With the bell ringing to signal the end of the day,

The painful and painful day of the galaxy also came to an end like that.
