She could barely remember the face of her elementary school class president, and there was no guarantee that he would remember the face of the platoon leader from 30 years ago clearly.
Moreover, it was quite unrecognizable when someone who was wearing a wornout military uniform stained with blood 30 years ago showed up in a baggy dress now.
Even Eun Ha couldn’t be sure if he was really Lee Jun right away.
“But.”
That obvious fact felt a little, just a little bit lonely.
“Eura Hunter?”
Lee Jun took a step closer.
“It’s nothing.”
Eun Ha stepped back just that much.
Was it her imagination? For a moment, Lee Jun seemed to hesitate. But that was only for an instant.
Lee Jun completely took his eyes off Eun Ha. He seemed to have nothing more to say to her. It was the same for Eun Ha.
“……The first search should be about an hour. We’ll need a communication network during that time.”
Sssss─
A faint aura began to sway around Lee Jun.
Like a translucent curtain, or like thin silver threads, it danced and fluttered, and soon dozens of snakes fell to the ground with a thud.
“Snakes?”
Everyone shuddered, except for Eun Ha.
When Lee Jun gestured, the whitescaled snakes raised their heads all at once. They looked like welltrained soldiers.
“──.”
He whispered something, and the snakes dispersed as if they had made a pact.
“It would be best to move in basic pairs of two in preparation for any situation. Please gather here again exactly 1 hour later.”
After confirming that a white snake had been distributed to each member, Lee Jun spoke.
“Then, disband.”
As Lee Jun’s period marked the end, the people there began to form their own groups.
It was natural for agents to cluster together and hunters with hunters.
As Eun Ha also glanced around to form a group, someone suddenly approached her.
“Ah. Black Flame Princess, please accompany Agent Kim Si Han.”
It was someone from the association. He pushed an agent towards Eun Ha as her partner.
That action seemed almost forceful, as if it had to be done.
“Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Kim Si Han.”
The man named Kim Si Han reached out to Eun Ha. Eun Ha’s black eyes stared at his hand.
“I’ll go with this big sister.”
A small orangehaired head popped between them. The agent next to him gasped.
“Tr, Trick…….”
“Find another partner, mister.”
“That won’t be possible.”
“Why?”
Min Joo glared at him defiantly. Her grip on the bazooka with the shooting star pattern looked strangely threatening.
“Why is it difficult?”
“…….”
“Mister, what’s the reason? You have to say something, or I can’t accept it, can I?”
Agent Si Han looked around uncomfortably.
Lee Jun wasn’t even looking in this direction.
That meant there was no one to help the agent, no one to stop the trickster.
“……Do as you wish.”
“Yay, really? Thank you!”
Min Joo jumped with joy. Si Han watched her with a somehow awkward expression, then quickly turned away as if resigned.
“Let’s go, big sister!”
Min Joo grabbed Eun Ha’s hand and pulled her. The small boy’s strength surprised even Eun Ha.
“─So I converted the MK 16 that was tucked away in the corner, but I didn’t really like it.”
Twenty minutes had passed since then, and Minjoo had been chattering nonstop beside Eunha.
“It seems pretty good, having completely remodeled it into the Bazooka version.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It should be complete with just some tuning, want to come see it sometime soon?”
It seemed Minjoo really wanted to show Eunha the newly made toy.
“Okay.”
“Wow, really?”
Minjoo was surprised by the unexpected invitation. A tangerinecolored tentacle popped out near the forehead. It was so adorable that Eunha unwittingly nodded her head with a softened smile.
“Yes.”
“Woah, exciting! I’ll invite you to the legion headquarters soon. There’s a workshop in the basement. I’m sure you’ll like it too, sister.”
“A workshop?”
“Yes. It’s a place where even guild members are not easily allowed in, but I’ll give you a special tour. The DDG[Dash]101 USS figure arrived just recently.”
Minjoo’s excitement was palpable from the small bouncing shoulders.
“It’ll be fun if we make it together, right?”
Though the cheerful smile looked like that of an ordinary middle school boy, it was uncertain how others might see it.
“By the way! Behind the workshop, there’s my special treasure warehouse and in there…”
Blah blah blah. Minjoo’s tiny lips moved without rest, as Eunha gazed at her with a strange look in her eyes.
‘This child is the master leading a guild.’
And not just any guild.
Minjoo’s legion was considered one of the top five strongest guilds in Korea in terms of combat power, according to Siwoo.
‘So it would be better not to get involved unnecessarily. Considering the future, it would be best to cleanly return the Gate Core.’
…If she had known she would meet Minjoo here today, she would have brought the Gate Core. But who could have imagined?
It doesn’t matter. Having received her invitation, she can return the Gate Core then.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
