I had always been thinking that way.
If there had been hunters back then,
If I had awakened then,
Would mother not have had to die?
Could I have shown mother the university acceptance letter?
──Would mother have been pleased?
It felt like being trapped in a neverending swamp. When Eun Ha came to her senses, she was fiddling with her left wrist, out of habit.
“You must have been very scared on your own.”
Hesitation.
Her hand, which was stroking the wish bracelet, stopped. Slowly lifting her head, she saw the back of Moebius soothing a child.
“Do you like candy?”
He pulled out a strawberryflavored candy from his pocket and handed it to the child. The child grabbed the candy tightly while sobbing.
“Don’t worry, the gentlemen will surely find your mother.”
“Is, is that true……?”
“Yes.”
Moebius smiled warmly and wiped the child’s wet eyes. He brushed off the dirt on her cheeks and retied her disheveled hair.
“What’s your name?”
“YeRi……. Ahn YeRi.”
“What a cute name. What is YeRi’s mother wearing?”
“A red dress.”
“Really? You came in matching outfits with your mom.”
“Yes.”
As if he had dealt with such situations many times, he handled the child very naturally and skillfully.
The child’s anxious face gradually turned to relief, and Moebius handed her over to the hunter beside him.
“Take the child and return the way you came. Send a search party this way. Two people… no, three would be better.”
“Yes, leader.”
The child was soon nestled in the hunter’s arms, waving her hand.
“Mister, thank you!”
Moebius waved back until the child disappeared down the corridor.
“…….”
Eun Ha, leaning against the inner wall, silently watched this scene.
The smiling face of the child, relieved and innocent, stuck to her eyelids and wouldn’t leave for a long time.
[This is the time separator]February 1998.
It had been a month since I was conscripted and entered the training center.
It was a time when the hunter system was not yet fully established. Monsters often escaped from the delayed gates, and many of the weaker ones were captured and used as training monsters.
“Wow……. amazing.”
Someone uttered a stunned exclamation.
Someone let out an exclamation in a dull voice.
“How many did you kill all by yourself……?”
From the raging flames, Cha Eun Ha slowly walked out. What she held in her hand was a monster’s severed neck.
The weakstomached trainees threw up everything they had eaten the moment they caught sight of her.
A unique, foul smell came from the monster’s blood. Eun Ha, covered in the vile blood, stood alone in the middle of the training ground.
“She must be crazy.”
“She’s definitely out of her mind.”
The moment admiration turned into condemnation was faster than the changing of seasons.
Eun Ha kicked the monster’s neck like a ball. Watching the rolling neck, she slowly lifted her foot.
Thud!
Thud! Thud!
She ruthlessly stepped on and crushed the already severed neck. An eyeball popped out, and an unidentified liquid spurted like a fountain from the cracked head.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
But Eun Ha did not stop. The trainees watching her grotesque figure could not bear it and eventually moved away from her.
In the end, what remained in the training ground were Eun Ha and,
“Stop.”
The training supervisor.
He grabbed the monster’s neck that Eun Ha had been stepping on with his bare hands.
“Give it to me.”
The supervisor threw away the monster’s neck he was holding as if to match Eun Ha’s empty voice, as empty as her hollow eyes.
“That’s enough.”
“No, not yet.”
As if possessed by something, Eun Ha took a step towards the monster’s neck that had flown far away.
“The code of conduct for hunters.”
The training supervisor opened his mouth heavily. Eun Ha stopped and slowly turned back.
“…One, recognize that your unique ability is a doubleedged sword and comply with the law. Two, uphold honor and faith and protect the citizens.”
A parched voice mechanically recited the hunter’s creed. The supervisor, inspecting the blood on Eun Ha’s lips, let out a heavy sigh.
“Why isn’t there a clause about exterminating monsters in the hunter’s creed, do you know?”
“…….”
Eun Ha quietly shook her head. Her pitchblack gaze was still fixed on the monster’s neck.
“It’s because those two matters are much more important than hunting and killing monsters.”
“…….”
“Cha Eun Ha. Everyone here has lost family. I too lost a daughter.”
Eun Ha’s gaze slowly shifted from the monster to him. She could see a face that looked like hers reflected in those empty eyes.
Your mother won’t come back to life by doing this. He wished not to say those words. She had already heard them enough and felt them to the bone.
He firmly grasped Eun Ha’s shoulders with both hands. The two lookalike faces stared at each other in the void.
“There will be many more people you’ll save than the one you couldn’t save.”
In the midst of the intense sandstorm that made the eyes dry, he patted her shoulder.
“I hope that can be a comfort to you.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
