‘This child will kill me in the future… ‘

A girl who sells matches with innocent eyes.

This girl in the future holds my head up and smiles like crazy?

No way.

No, the answers don’t lie.

will definitely kill me…

The girl who sells matches naively asked Lee Jun-woo, who was bewildered for a moment.

“Hey, adventurer?”

“… ”

“Are you adventurous? Are you okay~?”

“uh? uh, uh are you okay. nothing happened.”

Hearing the girl’s voice, he could barely come to his senses.

As if nothing had happened, Jun-woo Lee asked the girl.

“How much did you say for a match?”

“It’s 1000 ferries each. Adventurer-sama, I’ll bring you two specially!”

hmmm.

One match for 1000 ferries.

Where are you going to use this?

No, it is better to buy rather than think about where to use it.

Jun-woo Lee handed a 1000 ferry from his pocket.

“Let me buy one.”

“Wow! First guest today! There’s not much time left, but you’ll be happy today!”

The girl smiled kindly, circled him, and started cheering, shouting ‘Fight’.

Although Lee Jun-woo was embarrassed by the tension, he did not dare to spit it out and watched the situation quietly.

‘… warrior’s companion. I don’t know about his occupation, but he has a bright personality.’

Too bright.

Junwoo Lee has seen such bright children on the battlefield many times.

Children who are bright in everything, do not say bad things, and always smile.

All of their endings were bad, and they were all embracing a sad past.

‘It might be that girl who sells matches.’

Jun-woo Lee stopped the girl who was walking around and said.

“Uh, why are you like that..?”

“Wait, it’s crazy. stop.”

“Oh, I’m sorry if that’s the case. I didn’t mean to do that…”

The girl bowed her head like an unlit match.

He looked like he was dead.

“..you don’t have to apologize so deeply.”

“Oh, is that so! Hehe!”

And again.

As if embarrassed, he scratched his head and smiled broadly.

Something was odd.

Jun-woo Lee said, handed her another 1000 ferries.

“I’ll buy you another match.”

“yes? No, you don’t have to. A pack of matches will last you six months.”

“instead. I want you to answer my questions.”

Buy information with matches.

Matches with fixed sales per person.

Unless you’re an idiot, you won’t miss a customer like me who can buy several.

As I expected, the girl with the match was not an idiot.

“All you have to do is answer… ?”

“okay. The question will be simple.”

“That, then. I’ll do it. Here you are..”

The girl who sells matches handed three matches with trembling hands.

Two from the first purchase and one from this purchase.

Lee Jun-woo shoved a match into his pocket and immediately started asking questions.

“When did you start selling matches?”

“Originally, I didn’t sell matches… I started selling matches from last week.”

Lee Jun-woo handed over 1,000 ferries and said,

“So, what did you do before selling matches?”

“yes? Oh, that sold food on the street.. with Grandma..”

The girl answered by taking 1000 ferries.

‘Grandma…’

That’s good information.

Lee Jun-woo handed over 1000 ferries again.

It was the last question.

“Then, I want to know your name one last time.”

“yes? yes? Where are you going to use the name of someone like me..?”

A wary look was evident in the girl’s red eyes.

Apparently, it’s a bit like saying your name to someone you’re seeing for the first time.

However, even in such a wary state, he reached out and took 1000 ferries.

“… My name is Hare. Yuriana Hare.”

“Hare..”

remembered

Yuriana Hare.

Lee Jun-woo put two packs of matches in his pocket.

‘Since there is a period of four days…’

Shall we end here for today?

“I’ll use the matches well. Then come on.”

Lee Jun-woo turned around as if the business was over.

Hare, who seemed surprised at the sight, took his hand.

“Oh, that…! Me, over there…!”

“… ?”

“Why is nothing happening? No, not that..! If so, for what purpose did you ask your name? May I ask..?”

A girl who grabs Jun-woo’s hand while making an unfamiliar sound.

Feeling her gaze as if wishing for something, Junwoo Lee replied lightly.

“just.”

“yes..?”

“just. I wanted to know your name.”

The girl who sells matches heard the sound and put down Lee Jun-woo’s hand.

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, the girl who heard that answer stood there with a dazed expression on her face.

Lee Jun-woo left her and walked towards his own path.

‘… It sounds like you’ve spent a little too much money.’

I didn’t have to buy so many matches.

do you want me to give it back

With the heavy matches, thinking that time must have passed, Lee Jun-woo decided to go home.

In the meantime, he saw a small accessory shop in his field of vision.

The shop owner saw Lee Jun-woo and welcomed him.

“Oh, brother! Good eyesight! If it’s accessories, it’s our shop again! If it’s good quality at a cheap price, our store is the best!”

“… ”

Lee Jun-woo did not answer, and looked around the accessories in the street vendors.

There was one thing that caught my eye.

“This red ribbon. how much is it?”

“Are you going to give it to your daughter?”

“… It’s similar.”

not a daughter.

A red ribbon that seems to go well with a warrior.

Long hair is cumbersome for water lilies, so it would be nice to have at least one ribbon.

The store owner looked at Lee Jun-woo and said.

“Hmm, today is a special 30,000 ferry! Originally 40,000? Are you lucky today? Whoa!”

“It’s not bad for 30,000 ferries.”

It’s expensive, but one for the heroes would be fine.

He reached into his pocket to count.

A heavy feeling was felt inside, and the wallet popped out.

“… ”

Not a wallet for money, but a wallet for matches.

Only the matchbox was in the pocket.

I looked all over my pockets, but all that came out was a match.

At that moment, Junwoo realized.

“You were a thief. That girl who sells matches.”

thief.

The hero’s new companion is a thief.

Jun-woo Lee hastily returned to the place where the girl with the match was…

The seat was empty, and the girl selling matches was nowhere to be found.

***

The match girl.

Hare was walking down a dark alley.

The ‘garbage dump’, the worst alley in the capital where people without money live.

It was her hometown that smelled awful.

“Hehe.. How much do you think you earned today..”

Matches don’t matter.

The important thing is that man’s wallet.

Hare, with an innocent expression, opened Lee Jun-woo’s wallet.

There was so much money in it that I couldn’t even dream of.

“Hey, how much is all this..? What, what..? Was this person rich..?”

He didn’t look rich, but his wallet was rich.

There is a bundle of money in it that you can’t normally see.

Hare swallowed his saliva.

As a result, a piercing feeling of guilt spread throughout his body.

It was too much money for a thief.

“Well, it’s still not worth this much money.. That person… he was different from other people…”

That person…

I asked her name, but she didn’t ask me how she was at night.

Just.

He was genuinely curious about me…

Hare checked the smell of the cut in his wallet.

It was a different scent from those men who spit out a terrible perfume and flirted with it.

‘Sell your soul, but don’t sell your body, Hare. That means selling both body and soul. Even if you steal other people’s things… It hurts as much as the person who lost it. The pain of the soul is the only way for thieves like us to atone.’

Recalling the words of her grandmother who never woke up, Hare thought of Jun-woo Lee.

And, I started to make up my mind.

“… that person. That man is different. Hey, I have to give this back.”

he’s a good man

He looked at my heart, not my body.

For the first time in my life, I was curious about a person called me.

The bad boy is me…

Hare buried her wallet in her heart and turned around.

If I go back to that place, I’m sure the man will be there.

“I’m sorry Grandma. Do, I’ll try to earn money again. Ha-re is a bad kid. I need to get this money back-”

“Wait, hare did you say money now?”

“… !!”

Behind Hare, who was about to return, a strong male voice could be heard.

Hare hastily hid her wallet.

However, he noticed that he had already seen him.

garbage dumpster.

Ness.

He slowly began to approach Hare.

“Hare. You seem to have been looking for money?”

“Oh, no. It’s not my money.”

“Hmm, then, whose money is in your hand? Did you steal it again?”

“… ”

Hare was silent.

What was stolen was right, but it was to be returned to him.

Hare hid it in his arms to protect his wallet.

However, Ness’s actions were ruthless.

“Look, let’s see how much I heard!”

“Hey, don’t..! I mean, I’ll give it back…!”

“Shut up! What a stolen bitch gives back! Get off your sick grandmother!”

“Aw-!”

slap-!

Hare slapped him on the cheek. fell to the floor

Through the moonlight illuminating the alley, the figure of Ness greedy for a wallet was reflected.

Even Hare’s last hope was being shattered by that gangster.

“Wow?! You robbed the rich today?! If this is the case, 20% of the debt will be paid off?! Hey, you did a great job, hare!! haha-!”

“… no. It’s not mine.”

“Yeah, it’s mine now. it’s in my hand Also, hey, you’re smart. Thinking of robbing the rich? Had it not been for my grandmother, I would have been adopted in a better place. As for the looks… ”

f*ck.

Ness looked down at the fallen Hare.

The red hood was removed, and her red and pink cherry blossom hair slid down her shoulders.

His appearance was as clean and beautiful as a white snowfield.

The soft body was enough to awaken the instincts of men.

Ness, who was skeptical of the sight, approached Hare.

“I mean, it’s really weird. If you look like you, you’re either adopted or you’re selling your body. It’s one of them, and it’s really funny to live in a garbage dump with sincerity.”

“… it’s my life Never mind.”

“There is a way to live comfortably… Isn’t that right, Hare?”

Using the alley as a shadow, Ness gradually approached Hare.

“I’ll finish it in one go. I’ll tell the boss well, and he’ll ask me to cancel all the debt. how is it? There’s an easy way, but why do you keep going back, Hare? yes?”

“… no. I, I won’t live like that. I made a promise to my grandmother…”

“..always, his grandma grandma. I won’t be able to live long. Aren’t you tired of making excuses?”

Ness was a man who lacked patience.

So, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

“I said I would do it all, but for what reason?! uh?! Isn’t it fun to step on a man’s pride like that?! hare?”

“… You’re the only one with pride, aren’t you…? I have pride too..!”

“okay? Then I’ll have a look.. That pride..!! How great is that..!!”

It sounds like you have more self-esteem.

Ness got closer to Hare with a distance that could be reached if he stretched out his hand.

Hare, tired of seeing him, tried to get away from him as much as possible, and moved backwards in a fallen state.

Although it was a humble appearance, Hare moved to live.

Meanwhile.
