48 – Moonlight(1)
The man’s body was grotesquely twisted.
‘If you take that medicine, that’s how it will turn out.’
It seemed nonsensical. All kinds of drugs are like that, but it seemed to be especially severe.
‘It’s no different from a monster.’
– Wooddeuk!
“Quaaagh!”
His clothes were torn and his muscles swollen. He looked at me with red eyes and laughed meanly.
“Why were you scared?”
I said with a troubled expression.
“It’s ugly, so wear clothes.”
“… jackanapes.”
The thug who strode forward swung a huge mace at me.
“Does drawing lines on a pumpkin make it a watermelon?”
Damn!
No matter how hard you try, a d*ck is a d*ck. The thug collapsed with his head turned and his eyes wide open.
I muttered and scratched my head.
“… I should have listened and killed him.”
**
“boss.”
“Kuhm.”
He coughed and looked away.
Eugene’s expression is not good. Well, since the body was removed in broad daylight, it couldn’t have been a good feeling.
“… It’s difficult if you think too much.”
However, he spoke in a more relaxed tone, as if he couldn’t have been too bruised.
“It was dangerous just by looking at it. And I didn’t kill him.”
I nodded.
A thug who fell after being slapped on the cheek was tied up in a corner of the warehouse.
‘A normal human would have died.’
Moonlight.
It’s the first drug name I’ve ever heard of.
I mean throughout my entire life.
It was me who had a history of serving as an investigator. If it was a vicious drug, I would have remembered… .
“Isn’t it a big deal?”
But I felt something uneasy.
I feel like I can’t just go on like this.
I frowned and waved the clear glass bottle in front of my eyes.
A drug that forces you to go berserk.
The risk seemed surprisingly insignificant. the man was alive Even if a human has suffered enough damage to die, he remains intact.
Drugs usually exhibit typical high-risk, high-return characteristics. It was common sense that the larger the return value, the greater the risk.
Even if you catch the fainted gangster, it was at the level of D rank. The level of helplessness that was seen for a moment was roughly B.
That is, it makes no sense.
This man should have died as soon as the effect was over.
‘A drug that raises two grades at once, and if there is no risk… There’s no way I didn’t know in my previous life.’
It was when I was seriously thinking about it.
“Seonghun, almost all the ladies are here.”
Eugene glanced at the phone and told me.
He hired a private security company to serve as Chaewon’s bodyguard and to report the route.
“Oh right. You said you were coming to play, right?”
“Yeah. get out quickly … Can you imagine how hurt the lady will be if this is found out?”
“… Even if I die, I can’t show you this.”
It’s the age to grow up seeing only the good things. I couldn’t show my younger brother something like this, something that could only come out of noir.
“let’s go.”
Eugene took the lead. I spilled a man once.
‘I need to find out about this properly.’
It started with Siwoo’s request, but when I looked into it a little, I realized that I was quite disgusting.
… I couldn’t leave it in the position of reducing the variable as much as possible. If possible, I wanted to put everything in my hands and control it.
I closed the warehouse door and locked it with a padlock.

As soon as Chaewon saw me, she waved her hand with a bright expression as if she was glad to see me.
“Aren’t you doing business today? I’m here to help.”
“Why don’t you take a day off today?”
“… Aren’t we supposed to starve?”
“Dude, don’t you even watch YouTube? Our store is famous. It’s a restaurant.”
Even though Chaewon had doubts for a moment, she seemed to understand it when she recalled that she had actually gone out to a street corner restaurant.
“is it… ?”
“Okay, don’t worry about that and study hard.”
Chaewon pursed her lips.
“You are doing well.”
Chaewon carefully sat down at the table, holding onto her skirt. Perhaps he hadn’t adjusted to the remodeled store yet, he looked around without hesitation. It was cute like a chick.
‘yes. What is moonlight, what do you know? I just need to be happy with my sister.’
Complex issues aside.
Now I was no longer an S-class hunter belonging to the government. Their asshole will never do it again in this lifetime.
I will become selfish only for my personal greed and for the sake of Chaewon.
“Didn’t anything special happen at school?”
He turned around and said. While working as a temporary professor, I gave true education to the kids who bullied Chaewon, but it was just in case you didn’t know.
If Chaewon tells a lie, it’s obvious.
Fortunately, nothing to worry about happened.
“yes! I’m fine. I also made new friends.”
“Did you say glass? Eugene is my younger brother.”
“Yes! We decided to visit the store together sometime soon.”
Then he laughed, but he didn’t see the slightest bit of unhappiness.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Chaewon seemed to be excited when the school story came out, so she broke things down a lot.
“At school, well, a kid suddenly had a seizure.”
“seizure?”
“yes. I was in the middle of practicing, and suddenly I collapsed with foam on my face.”
“Aren’t you the one who was sick in the first place?”
“no. I was fine until class. But suddenly, during practice, my skin turned pale and I looked very bad.”
Chaewon stared into the sky, perhaps recalling what had happened.
“You must have been very surprised. sit down. Would you like something to drink?”
I reacted moderately to Chaewon and pointed at an empty chair.
“Oh, I was very surprised. He suddenly ran like crazy at the kid in front of his eyes. like zombies.”
“zombie?”
“yes. In horror movies, zombies attack humans. Just like that, his eyes turn red… .”
‘My eyes are red… ?’
In the corner of my heart, I had a feeling that I was going to do something.
“What else was there?”
“Looks like your muscles have gotten a little bigger.”
“!”
I adjusted my posture and started to listen more to Chaewon’s words.
“After that?”
“There is a local in our class. He moved around like this and quickly overpowered me.”
Chaewon waved her arm around in an awkward posture.
I grabbed my brother by the shoulder.
“Are you not hurt?”
“Yes? no I won’t even nod if the locals can subdue it.”
He bit his lips.
A bad scenario came to mind.
Moonlight, which has recently become popular among hunters.
What if that spreads to schools as well?
I can’t be sure, but I have my doubts.
“brother?”
Chaewon looked at me with a worried face, probably showing the seriousness in my expression.
I smiled and patted Chaewon’s head.
“If something like this happens in the future, run away unconditionally, okay?”
Chaewon looked at me blankly with rabbit-like eyes, probably surprised.
“Why is this all of a sudden? I also have an older sister, Eugene.”
I ignored Chaewon and looked at Eugene.
“Look at the store for a second. Something urgent has come up.”
“… Suddenly?”
“It won’t take long.”
Yujin saw my determined expression and nodded.
I opened the shop door wide.
My face, which had been smiling, was severely distorted before I knew it.
‘I need to meet Siwoo.’
rushed out
**
“miss. You don’t have to help.”
Eugene looked at Chaewon with a puzzled face.
“Your brother is away for a while, so I’ll help you until then.”
Chaewon patted her chest.
“… I really can’t stop it. I wonder if someone isn’t Seonghoon’s younger brother.”
“Ugh. Doesn’t that mean it’s bad?”
Eugene smiled without speaking.
“One more bowl, please!”
“Yes, go soon!”
Chaewon looked at Yoojin as she ran away, deep in thought.
‘It will be difficult alone.’
My older brother who always suffers and Eugene.
It’s a little help, but I wanted to help like this.
‘I have all the ingredients.’
Chaewon looked for work with her arms crossed.
I saw an empty refrigerator.
‘Should I fill up some drinks?’
– Glancing.
Eugene was serving guests.
Chaewon moved to the warehouse.
I definitely remember that the drinks were stored in the warehouse.
‘It’s locked.’
The warehouse door was firmly locked with a padlock.
I entered Sunghoon’s birthday, but it did not open.
‘Could it be my birthday?’
widely!
The lock unlocked effortlessly.
Chaewon entered the warehouse with a proud smile.
“It is dark.”
Inside a dark warehouse.
Chaewon ran her hands around looking for the fire.
– Percussion.
And then, without difficulty, I turned on the light.
“I didn’t have enough Coke.”
Chaewon flashed a coke in the storage space. And then the moment you are about to leave the warehouse.
A chained man lay unconscious on the floor.
The poor complexion of the man made him look like a sick person.
There were clear white marks on the mouth, probably from foaming.
Chaewon was fidgeting with both hands.
“there… .”
“… … .”
Chaewon put the Coke on the floor and looked at the man with innocent eyes.
“Aren’t you cold?”
The man looked at Chaewon as if he was a little bit awake.
“where are you… .”
“Yeah?”
“Where is this?”
“… It’s a store warehouse. Why are you here?”
The man smiled helplessly.
“What a bad bird… no. The bad guy tied me up and locked me up here.”
“Some bad guy did this… . That’s ours too. Are you my brother?”
“Would you please release me for now? I’m not feeling well.”
Chaewon approached the man with an innocent look on her face.
“Yes, yes. Don’t be afraid. How old are you?”
“I am 17 years old.”
“Good? Oh, I mean in the best of times.”
“thank you.”
Chaewon untied the man’s rope without difficulty.
“after.”
The man let out a short breath and began to stretch here and there.
“thanks. Should I give you a prize?”
“it’s okay. It is right to help people in need.”
Chaewon, whose time has not yet been asked, really thought so.
“no. yes i want to give ah! I hope so. I will save your life.”
“Yeah?”
Chaewon’s expression was a look of bewilderment.
“Stay still.”
“Ha, don’t!”
The man forcibly grabbed Chaewon’s arm.
“I will use you as bait to get out of here. I’ll let you go after that… ”
“Don’t do it!”
Suddenly, a mace was lifted from Chaewon’s hand and hit the man’s face hard.
-Jiing!
Mace trembled violently, as if resonating.
The man was slammed against the wall helplessly.
Chaewon looked at the man with a puzzled face.
“That’s why I told you not to do that.”
The man was stunned, so there was no answer.
“What do we do.”
I wasn’t worried about the safety of the man in front of me.
Chaewon’s concern is… .
‘Will my brother be disappointed if he finds out?’
It was Chaewon who didn’t use her abilities to the fullest because she didn’t want to be found out by Sunghoon.
However, because of the man in front of her eyes, she used her authority without realizing it.
Chaewon sighed as she put the mace in her inventory.
‘Where is the younger sister who is stronger than the older brother… !’
Yes.
Her ability was superpower.
