An old military transport vehicle was driving on an unpaved road with no street lights.
Gyeongju. Having checked the milestone visible through the window, Lee Joon opened his mouth with a voice soaked in anxiety.
“Eun Ha, have you ever been to Gyeongju?”
“No.”
Eun Ha answered briefly. In her hand was a tasteless, nutrientfree emergency ration.
Lee Joon scratched his cheek awkwardly, smiling. With the hand that still had an unhealed wound from yesterday, Eun Ha was busily bringing food to her mouth, not even looking at him.
Eun Ha and Lee Joon were training center mates.
However, there was still much that Lee Joon didn’t know about Eun Ha. There were even more things that he couldn’t understand.
For example, being able to chew and swallow food with such a calm face even when they might die today, or not remembering the name of a colleague with whom he had lived together for several months.
Cha Eun Ha.

She was definitely different from ordinary people. Although she had a personality that would never be close to anyone, Lee Joon actually admired Eun Ha.
She had been notably strong since her training center days. Unlike himself, who had an unimpressive unique ability called pheromones, she used powerful flames. It was an ability optimized for battle.
If she had not been there, he might have died during the last Pyeongtaek gate deployment.
‘Even if I had survived somehow, I would probably have been crippled.’
The thought of the threeheaded wolf they encountered back then still made his flesh creep.
And now, before the aftereffects had even healed, they were heading to Gyeongju, where the next gate was.
Lee Joon glanced at Eun Ha, who was sitting next to him.
He stared at her quietly swallowing food for a long time, then decided to try speaking again. He didn’t know when he would have the opportunity to talk to her again if not now.
“I’ve always been curious… Eun Ha, did you ever make a contract with a divine beast?”
“No.”

“Really? Why? You’re so strong; I thought you must have contracted already.”
Eun Ha briefly glanced at Lee Joon before quickly looking away. She wasn’t exactly blunt, but neither was she very sociable.
But he couldn’t give up here. This was a rare opportunity to become friends with Eun Ha, the top elite among his peers.
Lee Joon persistently continued the conversation.
“Eun Ha, you would suit the dragon among the 12 divine beasts. It’s the strongest one.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“…….”
“…….”
And the conversation broke off again.

It was a failure. Although there were still two hours left until they reached Gyeongju, unfortunately, the wall between the two seemed thicker than expected.
Just when Lee Joon was about to give up, it happened.
“…You said you came from America?”
As she put the remaining food in a black bag, Eun Ha suddenly spoke.
“Huh? Oh, yes. My father is American.”
“Really?”
Eun Ha started to stare intently at Lee Joon.
“I see you have blonde hair.”
“Yep.”
He only noticed it now. Although Lee Joon felt a little neglected, he swallowed it down.

“Do you know Quincy College in America?”
“No, I’ve never heard of it. Is it a university somewhere?”
“San Francisco.”
Eun Ha added in a murmur,
“It’s the university I wanted to go to. My dream was to become a pet groomer.”
“Why didn’t you─?”
Go? About to ask that, Lee Joon closed his mouth with a start.
She was a year younger than him. In other words, the gate opened when she was nineteen.
“It reminded me of you.”
“I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”
“Just…….”
Lee Joon answered a bit timidly, his eyes glancing at Eun Ha.
Eun Ha, who had taken her eyes off Lee Joon, was looking at the passing landscape outside, her chin propped up.
Her long black hair, as soft as velvet, fluttered in the wind that slipped through the slightly open window. It was so long that it tickled Lee Joon’s nose, who was sitting next to her.
When Lee Joon subtly moved his upper body back, Eun Ha looked at him.
“…….”
Then, without a word, she tied her hair high with a rubber band. Her hair, which he thought would surely be stained with the smell of blood, smelled the same as his supply soap.
It was a calm face, unbelievably the same Cha Eun Ha who had been slashing monsters with a bloodsmeared sword. Was that why?
“……Hey.”

Lee Joon was able to muster the courage.
“Would you like to groom my house’s dog later? It’s a Bichon Frise named William.”
“…….”
“Ah, he’s really gentle.”
As he proposed, Lee Joon’s cheeks turned a little red with embarrassment.
Eun Ha was looking at him with slightly widened eyes.
A brief silence passed. Through the window, one could see raindrops falling one by one.
Tap, tap─
When the sound of rain tapping on the bus window gradually intensified, a small laugh was heard.
“……Okay, I like it.”
The laugh was very soft and faint, almost drowned by the sound of raindrops, but Lee Joon felt that he might never forget that laugh in his lifetime.
