The hallway of the Sky Hotel.
Lee Si-woo swallowed his saliva and broke into a cold sweat. Shin Yu-seong said with a smile.
“Then I’ll take care of you, Siwoo.”
Lee Si-woo laughs along with Shin Yoo-seong’s bright smile.
“Uh, uhm, Yoosung… … . But, are you really okay? Honestly, I prefer Euna… … .”
“are you okay. … … All you have to do is do your best.”
Shin Yu-seong smiles while saying that.
Lee Si-woo scratched his cheek with a nervous expression.
“Yeah, right? I have to do my best. What kind of opportunity is this… … .”
Lee Si-woo’s conscience prickles him even as he speaks. Shin Yu-seong looked at Lee Si-woo and spoke in a calm voice.
“thank you. Let’s cheer up. “Siwoo.”
With those words, Shin Yu-seong heads somewhere.
Nod.
Although he moved his head, Lee Si-woo still broke into a cold sweat.
‘I really am…’ … ‘I can’t believe I’m going to compete in a competition.’
Can you beat your opponent in a competition with your own half-hearted attitude? Lee Si-woo falls into trouble. The expression became increasingly serious.
‘… … ‘Can I win with a bow?’
For Lee Si-woo, using a gun means acknowledging the education of his father and family. Just thinking about that made me feel an unpleasant feeling of rejection.
The moment you pick up the gun, your spirit becomes cold, as if you become a different person. Feeling continually uplifted. A keen sense of being able to feel even the heartbeat.
Lee Si-woo hated all of that.
No, I’m sick of it.
If you go to a national competition, you have to feel that feeling in front of the whole world.
‘… … I am.’
Lee Si-woo’s father made Lee Si-woo, who was only 10 years old, run around with a gun in the snow, saying it was to help him breathe better.
A body frozen in the cold.
There was no way the bullet could hit me in the cold, my chin was shaking, and there was no way I could breathe properly.
‘… … That kind of gun. ‘I never asked you to teach me.’
Above all, holding a gun means acknowledging one’s family in a national battle that the whole world will see.
[Look at that. This performance is all thanks to my insight into your talent.]
Whenever Lee Si-woo remembers his father’s authoritative tone of voice, he clenches his teeth for no reason.
‘Damn… … .’

ossuary.
A solemn place where the remains of the deceased are kept. Seiji wiped her nose in embarrassment as she looked at the box containing the paper crane and artificial flower bouquet beyond the glass tube.
“A long time! “Ryuko!”
A charnel house with no answers.
Seiji thought it was really fortunate that no one was in the charnel house.
Sigh.
Seiji sat down in his familiar seat and made direct eye contact with Ham, who was in a low position.
“As expected, there is no answer today~”
Deeply-
Seiji bows his head in an excessive, playful gesture.
“You insisted so much that ghosts exist~ But in fact, they don’t exist?”
Seiji sighed and then laughed lively again.
“But maybe that would be better? “If you could hear me, wouldn’t you be sick of it too?”
Seiji looked at Ham and smiled kindly as usual.
“Anyway, it’s been five years.”
Seiji wiped his nose again and looked at the photo in the box. A girl smiling confidently with her short hair clenched into a fist.
Ryuko Minagawa.
Seiji’s time as his only childhood friend stopped in the summer when he was 12 years old.
“… … That’s strange. Are there still ghosts? “I think I can hear something.”
Seiji listened in the silence of the charnel house. Something Ryuko used to say as a habit. Just thinking about that made me feel like I could really hear Ryuko’s voice even after five years.
[…] self! … Don’t do it!]
The bright summer sun.
Deep in the mountains, it was a hideout under the pretense of training. And a very familiar voice.
[A man! don’t cry!]
I met Ryuko when I was 5 years old.
Seiji became close with Ryuko simply because it was close to her house, and after that, she went with Ryuko for a whopping seven years.
[hey! Let’s go training today too!]
[me? Yeah, but… … . Ryuko. I’m a little scared of mountains.]
A much thinner physique than now.
Seiji, who was 12 years old, seemed to have a weaker physique than the girl Ryuko.
[scared? Ugh, he cried because he had a test of courage before! Men don’t keep crying!]
Ryuko clenched her fist and whipped it in the air! He shouted proudly, calling for power.
[Hunter is passionate about everything! Attitude is important! The kind that never gets scared even when a monster appears!]
Seiji looked at Ryuko’s speech with a wow look on his face.
[As expected, it’s cool. Ryuko… … . I want to be brave like you… … .]
[me? You too can be like me. All you need is courage! So, don’t cry too often. Did you understand?]

Ryuko pats her on the back. Seiji grinned and nodded his head.
[huh! okay! Ryuko!]
Ryuko, who was the exact opposite of his timid self, was truly an object of admiration for Seiji.
Even Ryuko was strong.
12 years old. When he was in elementary school, he was never pushed aside even when there were arguments with the middle school students. He was even so talented as a hunter that he had the ability to fight not only first-class monsters, but even second-class monsters.
[Awesome! Ryuko!]
His best friend, Ryuko, was always Seiji’s pride. Although no one else knew, she wanted to look good to Ryuko.
Probably first love.
[I mean. I will become the strongest hunter in Japan! Next time, we will be the best in the world!]
Ryuko laughs heartily while talking about a long dream. However, Seiji’s dream was Ryuko. She tells Ryuko that she will stay by her side forever until she becomes a twinkling star. She swore that from a very young age.
[Ryuko can definitely do it!]
But the world was cruel to 12-year-olds.
[…] … me. Now it might be a bit difficult to be the best in the world… … .]
An incurable disease whose name is unknown.
Ryuko, who had been shining brightly not long ago, greeted Seiji while lying in the hospital room. Eyes that have lost their vitality in a few days.
[sage. me. They say I can’t live long anymore. If you want to live… … It’s called a circular stone… … Do you need a stone?]
[…] … Ryuko?]
A star has fallen.
The person who always shined brightly lost its shine. In a hopeless situation, all a child can do is burst out crying.
Seiji shouted at Ryuko not to die.
[I, I! I’ll buy it for you! Ryuko! So, Lord, don’t die!]
[…] … fool. Even adults can’t buy it. They say it’s the money you need to sell 100 houses.]
Seiji was angry at Ryuko’s parents who were just crying. He was also angry at himself for being incompetent. But no matter how much I decomposed, the only thing I could shed was tears.
[The man… … don’t cry… … .]
And that day.
Seiji saw Ryuko cry for the first time.
A mountain that was scary even when we climbed it together.
But Seiji climbed the mountain alone that day. What you see before your eyes is a distant night sky. And light.
There were countless stars in the night sky.
Sage’s star has fallen.
The day Ryuko died.
Sage also died.
All that remains is a dream.
fault!
A charnel house filled with silence.
Seiji got up cheerfully, looked at Ham, and smiled brightly like the stars he saw as a child.
“I can’t hear you either!”
A cheerful laugh made by oneself.
After making up her mind, Seiji turned back and made a promise to her old friend.
“Ryuko! me! “I’ll come back as the world’s strongest!”
Seiji’s goal is to win the national competition. The first opponent is the strongest candidate for the championship.
It was Korea.
