A small communal graveyard was situated under the low mountain. By the looks of it, it had been quite some time since a human foot had touched it; weeds were growing thickly on the dirt path.
At one time, the entire area near this mountain had been a graveyard. Originally, the mother’s tombstone was set up in the faintest part of the mountain’s foot, but later, with the money earned from hunter activities, they moved the mother to a place with the best view and wide space. Eunha’s achievements and rapid promotions at that time were a big help.
But it was in vain.
Eunha crouched down in front of the wornout looking tombstone.
It had been 2 years, or maybe 3 years, she thought. But she herself had neglected her mother’s grave for a whole 30 years.
‘This place has changed too.’
In Eunha’s memory, this place had been more beautiful and clean. Eunha stared at her mother’s tombstone with sunken eyes.
A colony of ants formed black dots over the cold stone surface. Eunha slowly reached out and carefully brushed it off.
But then.
“……?”
A gray ash, similar to dust, was stuck to her finger. Remnants of an almost entirely burnt incense stick suddenly came into view. Someone had clearly lit incense here.
‘Who is it?’
Eunha stared at the incense remains with a strange look. As far as she knew, there was no one who would visit her mother’s tombstone.
Behind the absorbed Eunha, Siwoo silently spread his hand. A pure white snowflower bloomed over his broad palm.
“I didn’t bring anything prepared.”
He bent one knee and quietly placed the snowflower in front of the tombstone. The icelike sparkling petals reflected the twilight, faintly shining.
Eunha moved her eyes from the ash on her hand to Siwoo.
“……Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
In front of the tombstone, Eunha neatly brought her hands together and closed her eyes. Words she wanted to convey but could not now were repeated again and again, just like 30 years ago.
The wind swelled her dress hem, lonely, flapping. Her long, dark hair brushed past her parched cheeks.
Eunha got up and turned her head. Her black gaze settled on a place beyond the tombstone, a tranquil hill below, a small region.
That was why Eunha buried her mother in this communal graveyard. At a glance, it covered the neighborhood where she was born and raised.
The school path she walked every morning.
The nearby park she went to every weekend.
The nightscape she looked at every evening as she hung laundry on the veranda.
Contemplating such things, Eunha thought,
‘─I want to go back.’
Even if everything changed, she wanted to return to that place that did not change.
Perhaps she left something there. Something her mother called ‘my life.’
At least, ‘my life’ wasn’t in the hunter training camp. It wasn’t in the gates or within the piles of monster corpses.
So she wanted to go back. Even if there was nothing left there, she wanted to go back and check.
The villa where she and her mother lived alone had long since collapsed, replaced by a new apartment building. Eunha, catching sight of that apartment, muttered quietly.
“From that apartment, the whole neighborhood would be visible.”
Siwoo, who had been standing next to her, followed Eunha’s gaze and turned his head.
“Ah. That apartment, you mean? I know it’s quite expensive since it’s newly built.”
It was a highrise apartment that looked to be well over 30 floors. Considering the flashy exterior and the wide river flowing behind the apartment, it would be strange if it weren’t expensive. There was no way Eunha, who was penniless, could afford that apartment.
Soon her red lips moved slightly.
“You said you have a proposal.”
His shabby mansion. The way he readily handed over the money at the police station. The people in the mansion calling him ‘young master,’ when considering everything, he was clearly rich. Then.
“I’d like to hear that proposal.”
Whoosh.
The wind blew. Siwoo looked at Eunha.
The sun slowly setting beyond the mountain stretched the shadows of the two. Their faces, halfshadowed, were tinged with a rosy hue.
“I was telling you about the offer to work as a hunter in our guild.”
“Hunter activity?”
“One year. Just one year as a mercenary, or to put it simply, to act under contract. During this time, the profit earned from hunter activity will be given to you at a 12:0 ratio.”
The two’s eyes met. 12:0? Not even 10:0? Reading the peculiar look in Eun Ha’s eyes, Si Woo smiled faintly.
“That means, in addition to 100% of the profit, I will add an extra 20%.”
[The Divine Beast ‘Cat that Wanders the Darkness’ urgently advises you, sister, that you are the only one in the world who can be trusted, so never fall for the words of an adulterer.]Ignoring the window that popped up aggressively before her eyes, Eun Ha opened her mouth.
“……So what do you gain from this?”
“Of course.”
Si Woo responded promptly. His blue eyes unwaveringly faced Eun Ha.
“A lot.”
In fact, that was the case. Right now, Eun Ha was desperately needed by Si Woo. If it’s her, the ‘1st generation hunter’ with skills beyond his own, she could surely──.
Ding.
[The Divine Beast ‘Cat that Wanders the Darkness’ yells, Is it money, do you need money! Opens its mouth as if howling.] [You have been sponsored 100,000 coins. Will you put them in your bag? ▶ Yes / No]A yellow message window popped up aggressively, as if fearing that a friend would be snatched away.
Coins. Eun Ha, who caught sight of that word, suddenly revived a past memory.
It reminded her of the last time the cat gave her coins. Yet she still knew nothing of their use, how they differed in value from the won.
‘Although it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t curious.’
The only thing she knew at this point was that the currency needed to retrieve her memory wasn’t coins, but won.
“If you fulfill the contract for a year, you will earn enough money to achieve everything you desire.”
“Do you know what I want?”
Eun Ha asked. Si Woo then smiled faintly and pointed down the quiet hill.
“Not just a house in that apartment, but the entire apartment complex. I will make it possible for you to buy it all.”
Eun Ha’s eyes widened in surprise.
Silence passed for a moment. Eun Ha, who had been alternating her gaze between Si Woo and the hill below, slowly opened her mouth.
“……Are you sure?”
Indeed, as of now, all that Eun Ha knew how to do was slay monsters.
If she could return there after a year. If that was certain, she could bring hundreds of monster heads before his eyes.
“If it falls short, I will make up for it.”
Smiling playfully, Si Woo pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

[The Divine Beast ‘Cat that Wanders the Darkness’ shouts, How much, how much do you need?]
[You have been sponsored 100,000 coins. Will you put them in your bag? ▶ Yes / No]
‘Sorry, but coins aren’t the same as won.’
……But money is money. For now, she’d better take it. Pressing the ‘Yes’ button, Eun Ha once again looked at the business card. Wolf. That simple word clearly entered her view.
Under the darkening night sky. Eun Ha’s black eyes were fixed on Si Woo’s business card for a long while.
Eventually, Eun Ha raised her head. Her lips, stuck with scabs, moved slightly.
“Okay.”
There was no longer any reason to hesitate.
