“Let’s stay together for just one more day.”

    “It’s Monday today. Kim Sa-rang should go to the academy too.”

    Daaengㅡㅡㅡㅡ.

    It’s early morning.

    Why do I feel so sluggish on Mondays after the weekend?

    Eunha woke up early in the morning and went out to [Changcheon Sword] as soon as the sun rose.

    In the end, I stayed here for two days.

    It was yesterday afternoon that my heart was healed by the energy of Jong-i who had become healthy.

    Because I liked seeing Jong-i playing with Kim Sa-rang, I took a day off from tutoring and played various games in Kim Sa-rang’s room after dinner until late at night.

    (Wow…)

    (Okay, this time too, Eunha Doryo is in last place.)

    (I’ve become a person worse than a dog.)

    Kim Sa-rang, Eunha, and Jjong.

    Banharin and the ‘mouse’, who had stopped hiding, also joined the game.

    It’s a game of wits that even puppies can play, and it’s a way to impose a penalty on the last place winner.

    However, the reaction speed of the two A-class hunters and the two beast cubs was amazing.

    Thanks to that, the soft-fisted Eunha with poor athletic ability finished last in every game and took all the penalties.

    (Eunha. As a penalty for last place, here’s a free hug for the first place winner.)

    (Yes, yes. Come here.)

    (Wow…)

    (Wow…)

    (Why is even Ms. Banharin whining?)

    Surprisingly, Jong-i understood the rules of the game.

    Could it be because of the ‘original potion’?

    Eun-ha was both amazed and uneasy by Jong-yi’s extraordinary intelligence.

    (Now it’s time to go to sleep… I’m going to shower first and come out, so if you come in, you’ll die.)

    After that, you take a shower in order,

    Knock knock.

    (I came to die.)

    (Eunhong? No, you’re not dead… Ah…)

    Or, being oppressed by the [Red Woman] with a sullen expression,

    Time passed without being able to be quiet even for a moment.

    Eunha thought positively.

    She, who always slept alone at ‘Saebyeol Apartment’, was finally able to lie down in bed smelling the scent of people after a long time.

    ‘There wasn’t much to do except for saving Jong-i… I think I made the most of my paid vacation. I had a good rest.’

    After spending the night like that, the sun has risen now.

    I am being seen off by Kim Sa-rang, dragging a carrier containing [the black book].

    “The ‘clay dolls’ that were broken yesterday will be replaced at the cafe.”

    “I’ll go with Jong when I go to work… Can I bring my dog into the cafe?”

    “That… I’ll ask Bangul.”

    There is only one ‘one-night leave pass’ left that the old security guard gave me.

    I have no regrets. I’ve finished everything that needed to be done right away.

    “Wow…”

    Kim Sa-rang followed Eun-ha to the front gate to see her off.

    The little stray dog, Jong-i, sitting at her feet, wags its tail.

    Jong-yi looks at Eun-ha with eyes full of regret as she leaves, but when their eyes meet, he suddenly stands up and blocks the way between Kim Sa-rang and Eun-ha.

    “Wow…”

    “Jjong-i, take care too. Stay healthy.”

    The sight of the dog trembling while protecting its owner is dignified.

    Galaxy, who was laughing, reached out to stroke Jongi.

    But Jong-i cowered as if scared, and had no choice but to change direction and pat Kim Sa-rang’s head.

    “Galaxy’s way.”

    “Yes, Kim Sa-rang… No, Mr. Geom-gwi.”

    “Call me by my name. No need for honorifics.”

    A brief separation.

    The memories of those two days left a deep mark on Kim Sa-rang’s heart.

    A mark, not a scar.

    Kim Sa-rang took it as a lesson.

    “… … Okay, Mr. Love.”

    “I will study from now on. I will pass the promotion exam next month as well.”

    I want to be wise.

    I don’t want to stand there like an idiot at a crucial moment.

    I look down at Jong-i with a resentful heart.

    What if there were no galaxies?

    Would Kim Sa-rang herself have been able to rise again, next to Jong-i, who had closed her eyes?

    Palang-.

    Kim Sa-rang takes the lottery ticket towards the galaxy.

    The puffy sleeves of the gi resemble butterfly wings.

    With determined eyes, she recites her resolutions for the future out loud.

    Because he wanted the galaxy to know that he was going to move forward.

    Because I want to let you know that the fool who looked up at the North Star is going on in search of the lost path.

    “So if… I pass the C-class exam next month, the written test… Will you become my family?”

    Kim Sa-rang, with a blush on her face, says.

    With eyes as clear as dawn.

    “… … .”

    A pitch-black uniform and black hair tied into a ponytail.

    A charming woman with eyes as sharp as blades.

    But in many ways, he is too insignificant to call himself the Ghost of the Sword.

    “… … Of course. Weren’t we already like family?”

    A cute pet… no, this is what it would feel like to have a little sister.

    Eunha, who hugged the blushing Kim Sa-rang tightly, turned around with a smile and said that they would meet again next time.

    Boohoohoo.

    Banharin’s car carrying the galaxy departs without hesitation.

    The back view following the steep downhill is gray.

    “… … .”

    “Wow…”

    She watched the departing car with Jong-i.

    Soon, when the car completely disappeared, she hugged Jong-i with a face as red as a carrot and rubbed her cheek.

    “Family…! What should I do, Jong-ah? I love it so much!”

    “Wow……”

    “Should I call you sexy now?”

    “Wow?”

    Stupid owner.

    So, from now on, continue to be by her side.

    Jong-i licked Kim Sa-rang’s face while wagging his tail.

    … … .

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

    Daaengㅡㅡ.

    Morning comes to everyone.

    It’s a morning where I open my eyes to the sound of a bell.

    A commercial building located in Euncheon-gu.

    An office called ‘Do Jong-ha Detective Agency’.

    The secret task force that escaped from the [Blue Dragon Guild]… Kim Yu-hee, the leader of the Dark Dragon Guild, was sitting on a soft sofa and taking a phone call.

    – … … So, [Changcheon Swordsman] will protect Kim Yu-hee and Detective Do Jong-ha. I know someone who works at [Changcheon Swordsman].

    “Thank you so much. Can I bite your dick?”

    – Do cats have bad mouths too?

    Galaxy phone.

    It’s nothing special.

    After meeting Do Jong-ha and ‘Mouse’ at Hanbit Orphanage, the Dark Dragons hit the back of the head of the [Cheongryong Guild] and escaped.

    It was a phone call from Eunha, who was worried that they might be being targeted knowingly or unknowingly, and said that she would introduce them to an acquaintance from [Changcheon Swordsman].

    I didn’t even look at the deserted roads because I didn’t know when the Blue Dragon’s assassin would come.

    Days where I have to stay home as soon as the sun goes down and follow the rules of the ‘guidebook’.

    In that situation, Galaxy’s phone call was like rain in a drought.

    – I said I was going to meet Kim Yu-hee today, so we can talk then.

    “Okay. We’ll take care of the rest.”

    A rope is lowered to escape the shadow of the Blue Dragon.

    Kim Yu-hee bowed in the direction of ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’ to express her gratitude.

    Finally, the phone call ends, and she gets up from the sofa, roughly running her orange hair up.

    “Ah, Captain, didn’t I tell you not to do that because your hair will fall out? Can’t you see I’m cleaning?”

    “Yeah, I can’t see it.”

    ‘No. 1’, who was cleaning the office with a vacuum cleaner, twitches his cat ears and spits out curses.

    Kim Yu-hee, accustomed to ignoring No. 1’s nagging, puts down her cell phone and slumps down on the sofa.

    A quiet office as usual.

    She went out to do detective work with her two female dragon followers, ‘No. 2’ and ‘No. 3’.

    I think it was too noisy to bring all five members of the Dark Dragon Corps.

    So, the leader Kim Yu-hee and the three ‘number 1’ and ‘youngest’ members cleaned the office and acted as guard cats.

    Kim Yu-hee gets up from the sofa and walks around the office.

    Then I sat down on the sofa again,

    He gets up again and heads to Do Jong-ha’s desk.

    “What the hell are you doing, Captain?”

    “Our galaxy’s Ji’s acquaintance came to find me. I can’t sit still.”

    “Why can’t you just sit still on the couch? Stop sitting and standing up before I vacuum up your knee joints.”

    “Noisy. So, it’s not like Detective Do Jong-ha abandoned us and only took ‘No. 2’ and ‘No. 3’. ”

    “If you know that, just stay quiet! If Detective Do Jong-ha comes running and pokes your temple with his thumb, we’ll be defeated. How many times do I have to say that?”

    “Shut up, sisters.”

    Two people trying to look down at each other with their necks stretched out like meerkats.

    It’s always like this.

    The youngest, who took out instant coffee with half-open eyes, sat down on the sofa.

    … … .

    Anyway, there was a lot of useless talk,

    [Changcheon Sword Song] A person comes here today.

    To protect Amryongdae and Dojongha from the Blue Dragon.

    “Captain. Do you know who the [Changcheon Sword Master] acquaintance that Eunha mentioned is?”

    “Jung So-ra, a Guild Scout, is a B-class Hunter. I saw her before while looking through confidential documents.”

    [Changcheon Sword Master]’s B-class hunter, Jeong So-ra… Kim Yu-hee also knows her name.

    Did you say that he was a person who picked out good hunters every month during the promotion exam?

    But this one is from the secret operation unit of [Blue Dragon Guild].

    Even though it is a position that requires protection… it should not be looked down upon.

    It will be easier going forward if you give the impression that you are useful enough.

    “No. 1, the youngest. When [Changcheon Sword] comes, he glares at me with the scariest face possible.”

    I sat down next to the youngest, who was sipping coffee, and crossed my legs.

    ‘No. 1’, who had finished cleaning, sat down next to Kim Yu-hee and crossed her legs.

    ha…

    The sigh of the ‘youngest’.

    Kim Yu-hee sat on the sofa and tapped away at her smartphone until Eun-ha’s acquaintance arrived.

    … … .

    ……dripping.

    Soon, the wall clock struck noon.

    Light footsteps approached the office entrance and knocked on the door.

    “I came here with a referral from Galaxy Yang. May I come in?”

    How did you know there was someone in the office?

    Although a little doubt crossed her mind, Kim Yu-hee leaned against the sofa in a posture that made her look as strong as possible and opened her mouth.

    “It’s open. Come in.”

    Click-.

    An acquaintance of the galaxy, belonging to [Changcheon Swordsman].

    Soon the office door opened, and someone introduced by Eunha came in.

    Kim Yu-hee, sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa, looked back at ‘someone’ with a fresh look.

    A pure white uniform.

    A woman with her eyes tightly shut.

    “Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Ha-yang.”

    Thud-.

    Immediately afterwards, three cats came down from the sofa with their legs crossed.

    Gathering all the humility in the world, Kim Yu-hee knelt with her legs crossed and clasped her hands together.

    “Wow.”

    An acquaintance who works at [Changcheon Swordsman].

    Why guild leader.

    Why is my friend the guild leader?

    I absolutely have to be close friends with Eunha.

    Kim Yu-hee, with her cat ears perked up, lay flat on the floor in front of Kim Ha-yang, the guild leader of [Changcheon Swordsman].

    … … .

    “Is the floor comfortable?”

    “Wow.”

    “I see.”

    Ability needed to survive as part of a large guild’s operative unit.

    Maybe that wasn’t a coincidence.

    Our first meeting made our hearts race, and the conversation that followed was surprisingly business-like.

    The current situation that Amryongdae and Dojongha are in, and what kind of protection they want,

    A person who claimed to be the secretary of Guild Leader Kim Ha-yang also came to the office and handed out various documents.

    “It’s not close protection, but you just need the shadow of [Changcheon Sword].”

    “That’s right. You can figure out the rest.”

    It’s difficult for people to get attached.

    Kim Yu-hee looked down at the ‘inverted cross ankle bracelet’ attached to her ankle and drew a line.

    What is needed is the breath of [Changcheon Sword Family] who is watching over them. The threat that the confidential documents stolen by Amryongdae can be sent to [Changcheon Sword Family] at any time.

    That alone will avoid any unnecessary friction on the Blue Dragon side for the time being.

    The rest can be taken care of by Kim Yu-hee, so this is the best that can be done without being a burden to Eun-ha.

    “I see. Okay, I understand.”

    “Seongeun is so awesome… But is it really okay? The opponent is the Cheongryong Guild.”

    “This is a request from Galaxy Yang.”

    Where on earth has the galaxy been and what has it been doing?

    Will that heartless Kim Ha-yang guild leader call her name in such a gentle voice?

    Kim Yu-hee, who had been a member of Cheongryong until recently, couldn’t understand.

    “… Let me ask you a question. I think we’re almost done talking. ”

    “ㅁ, Ask me anything.”

    “What do you call your daughter’s wife?”

    “… … Huh?”

    Eventually the transaction is completed.

    Kim Ha-yang’s secretary leaves the office, leaving only Amryongdae and Kim Ha-yang behind.

    Kim Yu-hee wasn’t the only one curious about the relationship between the other person and Eun-ha.

    Kim Ha-yang’s fingertips, emerging from the sleeves of her pure white uniform, rub the armrest of the sofa.

    Fingers rubbing quietly.

    “I think it was called Amryongdae.”

    “… … .”

    “How did you meet Milky Way?”

    Kim Yu-hee’s eyes moved around at the curious question.

    Encounter with the Galaxy. What I saw at the ruined ‘Hanbit Orphanage’.

    Is it okay to say that?

    ‘… … ‘

    The worries were short.

    Kim Yu-hee took a deep breath and slowly shook her head.

    I can’t tell you. It’s a story that shouldn’t be told without the permission of the galaxy.

    I don’t want to force her sadness.

    A heart that wants to do something.

    You may be sick, but I hope you are not lonely.

    Kim Yu-hee raised her head and looked at Kim Ha-yang.

    “… … .”

    The guild leader of [Changcheon Swordsman] looked up while kneeling on the floor.

    A woman is seen with her eyes closed, having lost her sight.

    『… … .』

    A woman in a pure white uniform is sitting on the sofa,

    and,

    Her sitting on the sofa, behind the sofa,

    There was ‘it’.

    『… … .』

    All are black people.

    Black suit. Black tie.

    The black gloves have six fingers.

    The bottom of the black hat on its head was strangely dark, so it was impossible to see the facial features of ‘that thing’.

    A pure white inverted cross accessory dangles from the edge of the hat.

    “… … Uh.”

    [Black person].

    In the basement of the orphanage, there was also a picture of the galaxy from childhood.

    Something creepy.

    ‘That thing’ was looking down at Kim Yu-hee, who was kneeling, from behind Kim Ha-yang’s back.

    There was no warning or sound.

    I just raised my head, and it came into view as if it had been there from the beginning.

    The air has become chilly as if winter has arrived, and I unconsciously turn my head to the window.

    The light coming through the gap in the window blinds was red like blood.

    There was no sound or smell.

    Only the visuals contained the horror.

    It was as if he was trying to avoid the blind guild leader, Kim Ha-yang, and only show himself to the Dark Dragons.

    Soon, Kim Yu-hee, who was kneeling on the floor, began to feel numerous gazes from behind.

    “… … .”

    They are similar to the monsters you encounter in the basement of the orphanage. They are strange beings bound by resentment.

    My fingers, trembling slightly as the trauma triggers them, dig into my thigh.

    『… … .』

    [The black man] looked down at her.

    It’s as if Kim Yu-hee is telling others about the orphanage.

    It seemed like they had come to spy on me.

    fizzle.

    Immediately afterwards, ‘that thing’ raised its index finger.

    Kim Yu-hee wiped away the cold sweat that was running down her body and exhaled with difficulty.

    I guess he meant not to tell Kim Ha-yang about the orphanage.

    weird.

    Is it wrong to tell others about what happened at the orphanage?

    Why? Why are the monsters blocking us?

    ‘Don’t monsters like it when their stories spread?’

    A feeling of discomfort.

    I feel like something is off.

    It was strange when I thought about it.

    In Kim Yu-hee’s view, Eun-ha’s caution regarding [The Black Book] was quite ambiguous.

    It’s true that they try to keep others from recognizing ‘those things’, but aren’t the other person weird?

    Is this the kind of thing you can stop by yourself?

    ‘… … Different direction? Respecting the opinion of the Milky Way? The monsters? … So they are going to harass the owner of the [Black Book] first, so that when he can no longer endure it, they release the monsters…’

    The North Star, which shows direction to those who are lost.

    Perhaps it wouldn’t be strange if Euncheon-gu was already annihilated by monsters.

    Perhaps, if the galaxy had other thoughts…

    …no.

    It’s a useless thought. I don’t even know what I’m thinking.

    The sudden appearance of a monster will probably cause you to have strange thoughts.

    Kim Yu-hee stopped thinking.

    “……fizzle.”

    Blink.

    So, the lights in the office went out,

    Darkness has come.

    … … .

    … … .

    “… … .”

    “I see. I asked a pointless question. Sorry.”

    The question is how did you get to know Eunha?

    When Kim Yu-hee didn’t say anything, Kim Ha-yang apologized honestly, thinking that she had asked something pointless.

    No matter how we met, he probably wasn’t a bad person.

    Because we are acquaintances of the galaxy.

    I see you have a heavy mouth.

    ‘Miss Galaxy. Just as you saved Jong-i’s life and reached out to Sarang, I will also protect what is precious to you, Miss Galaxy.’

    The work is done.

    Kim Ha-yang, who is blind.

    She knows what Kim Yu-hee is looking at.

    Is the light off in the office?

    What is standing behind your back,

    I couldn’t figure it out.

    Swish.

    A refreshing mind.

    Kim Ha-yang left the detective agency after saying a brief farewell to Kim Yu-hee.

    ‘I’ve heard of the Dark Dragon Tower…’

    I left the Do Jong-ha Detective Agency and got into my secretary’s car.

    She lay comfortably on the passenger seat backrest and rubbed the passenger seat armrest with her fingertips.

    A female dragon living in the shadow of the blue dragon.

    Was it a special operations unit specializing in information disruption, hacking, and intimidation and persuasion?

    I’ve heard stories of large guilds falling apart due to internal strife.

    ‘Did they escape from the Blue Dragon? Even if it wasn’t Eunha Yang’s request, [Changcheon Swordsman] would benefit from protecting them.’

    How can only good things happen like this?

    Kim Ha-yang’s lips turn up at the thought of her kind heart, just like her face and body.

    A woman as precious as family.

    I hope only happy things happen to her too.

    ‘The only thing left to do is… observe the side effects of the ‘original potion’ that Jong-i drank.’

    I think that part will be fine too.

    It’s not like I poured liters of the ‘original solution’ into my stomach to extend my life, and even after a day, there were no noticeable problems.

    Rather, it seemed like Jong-i had become smarter than before.

    Kim Ha-yang burst into laughter as she recalled Jong-i playing with Kim Sa-rang.

    “Guild Leader, I see you are in a good mood.”

    “Because it’s only good things. Thanks to Eunha Yang.”

    Boohoo.

    A car carrying Kim Ha-yang is driving through Euncheon-gu.

    It happened around a quiet lunchtime.

    … … .

    … … .

    Wow!!

    Meanwhile, at that time.

    An office in the Hunter Association’s potion dispensary.

    “Director Jo!”

    “Haa…! Haa…! What the? We lost contact with [the facility]? What the hell are you talking about!!”

    A young man with a hunched back like an old man, with his hands clenched and shaking like a patient suffering from withdrawal symptoms,

    He was venting his anger on the middle-aged researcher.

    It’s always like this.
