The checkpoint became deserted since there were practically almost no people trying to enter Mapo-gu anymore. People were trying to avoid it like a plague because they heard rumors that Mapo-gu was dangerous at night.

A few people who didn’t care about their lives still wanted to pass through the checkpoint and enter Mapo-gu, but those kinds of people disappeared with the appearance of a black silhouette rising in the middle of Mapo-gu.

The silhouette, which seemed like a mass of shadow standing up, spread an ominous feeling that made the viewer feel uneasy. In that kind of situation, Yerin was hiding behind the shadow of the vehicle and waiting for an opportunity.

Full of determination to definitely meet the Gray Reaper, Yerin slowly approached the checkpoint and soon found herself right under the window of the checkpoint. Since the security of the checkpoint had weakened with the appearance of the black silhouette, it seemed like she would get plenty of opportunities to sneak in.

Sneak-!

While everyone was looking towards Mapo-gu, she slowly stepped over the open window. The staff from the association were blocking the checkpoint, but since they were all preoccupied with the battle of the black silhouette, Yerin could sneak in easier than she expected.

After passing through the checkpoint, there was nothing to be afraid of. So, Yerin ran towards the black silhouette and the Gray Reaper.

An ominous yellow moon was looking down on Earth while the night streets were devoid of people. The Golden Reapers that patrolled around Mapo-gu had also disappeared, making the streets look lonely, but Yerin’s heart was beating fast.

Yerin was excited at the thought of being able to meet the Gray Reaper soon.

I’ll meet the reaper soon!

She didn’t think it would be dangerous at all. After all, in her eyes, the Reaper was invincible.

Before long, Yerin saw a small silhouette the size of a fingernail wriggling on the roof of a certain building. It was already night and the silhouette was so far away that she couldn’t see it clearly, but she could recognize it at a glance.

It’s Reaper!

If we limit it to the Gray Reaper, Yerin’s eyesight was probably better than even an eagle.

Even though it was a distance where she shouldn’t be able to see any facial features, let alone expression, Yerin felt like the Gray Reaper was in a bit of a difficult situation.

Did it find something not to its liking?

Yerin shouted loudly as she watched it.

“Reaper, Fighting!”

The distance should be too far for Yerin’s voice to reach it, but the Gray Reaper turned its head the moment the voice rang out and found Yerin.

Then, a happy expression bloomed on its face.

Smiling, the Gray Reaper appeared right in front of Yerin before she knew it, walked over to her, and jumped into her arms.

As she slowly stroked the Gray Reaper, who was expressing its joy with its whole body, the surrounding environment began to change.

The black, hard asphalt disappeared, while white, soft marshmallow land took its place.

It seemed as if a fairy tale was eating the reality.

The marshmallow land began to slowly expand its territory, creating a highly contrasting landscape where concrete buildings suddenly appeared on the marshmallow land.

*********

Probably since it had been a week since I met her, my firewood started to pile up endlessly. Just hugging Yerin tightly was enough for me to get a stream of firewood.

Once there was enough firewood, I started calling the Mini Reapers I hadn’t called in due to fuel efficiency issues.

The first one I called out was the Giant Black Reaper.

I put them in charge of blocking the giant fake reaper’s attack while I recharged myself with the help of Yerin.

In order to deal with the giant fake reaper, which was larger than buildings, the Black Reaper also appeared in the size of buildings.

The Giant Black Reaper, who appeared in a posture with a loud bang started fighting the black silhouette with light steps.

Then, I called out the remaining Blue Reapers, Orange Reapers, and Bud Reapers to rescue people.

The Blue Reapers were in charge of direct treatment and relief work.

The Bud Reapers were in charge of turning the time back if a building collapsed.

The Orange Reapers would twist the probability of all kinds of accidents and reduce the number of people getting hurt.

And finally, I summoned the worst cost-effective Reaper: The Hungry Ghost Reaper.

Probably because it had been a while since I called it, the Hungry Ghost Reaper looked happy.

Now, go wild!

The Hungry Ghost Reaper heard my will and created a greatsword in both of its hands before charging at the fake grim reapers to deal with the enemy.

Then I summoned a large White Hungry Ghost and lay down on its soft back.

I was comfortably resting in Yerin’s arms, nibbling at the white grim reaper’s back little by little.

After all, I had completed an automatic hunting mechanism with the help of the Mini Reapers who only needed to be supplied with a lot of firewood.

*********

In a single-room studio apartment in Mapo-gu, a woman was hiding in a corner, clutching a blanket, in fear.

“Ugh.”

It was definitely the end of a very happy day. All she had to do was go to bed while playing with the brightly smiling Golden Reaper!

The Golden Reaper, who had been just exuding goodwill and smiling brightly, now gritted its teeth and stood guard in front of the woman. Even with a hole in its chest, it still managed to deal with the fake Reaper through a surprise attack, but another fake Reaper slowly rose from the shadows.

The Golden Reaper looked back with an expression on its face as if it was about to cry as it watched the fake Reaper appear again. It had already consumed too much firewood that moving was a hard task for it, so it could no longer protect her.

I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.

Even as bloody golden flames dripped from its severed left arm, the Golden Reaper simply shed tears with an apologetic expression. Before long, having consumed all the firewood, it could no longer endure, and turned into light dust and scattered.

The Golden Reaper, who had died like that, opened its eyes in the endless plain, The Valhalla of the Mini Reaper.

A human is in danger!

The Golden Reaper opened its eyes and jumped out to the area beside the Gray Reaper. However, without paying attention to its surroundings, it simply ran towards the human it was guarding.

It might have already been too late, but it couldn’t give up.

When the Golden Reaper arrived in front of the one-room studio where the human resided, it could feel the human’s fear.

When it passed through the door with its Phantom Form, a terrible scene greeted it. A bad Object with a strange smile was swinging a sword.

On the other side of the sword, a human who couldn’t even think of moving, just trembling in fear.

In the meantime, the sword of light had grown large enough to split a human in half.

A human is in danger!

It came to protect the humans, but there wasn’t enough time. The fake Reaper’s sword had already reached the woman’s nose, and the Golden Reaper had only just returned.

No matter how much it sped up time, it wouldn’t be able to reach it.

Noooooooooo!

The Golden Reaper stretched out its fully healed hand to the woman and screamed with its will. It wanted to grab the space like its mother, but it was impossible for it. Even so, the Golden Reaper could never give up on humans.

In that fierce battlefield, something round and chubby began to fly.

A plump, white, burning Hungry Ghost that did not match the fierce battlefield at all began to fly into the room like a water drop.

When the Golden Reaper saw the Hungry Ghost made of white flames, the Golden Reaper stopped crying and raised both hands in the air, cheering.

Little snack sibling!

As soon as the Golden Reaper’s will spread, the Hungry Ghost-shaped flames spewed out flames like missiles and accelerated, rushing towards the fake Reaper and exploding.

Even though the fake reaper had physical immunity, it was helpless against the Hungry Ghost’s quintessence, the Hungry Ghost’s flames.

Boom-!

With a loud explosion, the fake reaper and the reaper-shaped flames disappeared without a trace.

The woman was extremely flustered by the sudden explosion, but her mind gradually began to calm down, perhaps because of the delicious scent of the golden reaper.

Pat-! Pat-!

When the Golden Reaper, which had climbed to her shoulder, patted her cheek, the woman finally let out a deep sigh, realizing that she was alive. However, just as the situation calmed down, a loud noise rang out from outside the room.

Boom-!

At that moment, a shockwave so powerful that it shook the entire building swept through, and the building she was in began to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.

Startled, the woman held the Golden Reaper in her arms and hurried out of the building.

What the woman found when she got out of the building was a fluffy marshmallow earth and the Mini Reapers fighting valiantly.

A large Black Reaper was fighting a huge shadow.

Fists clashed with fists, and shockwaves spread out in all directions.

Many buildings collapsed from the countless shockwaves, but before long, they regained their original form as if a video was being rewound.

In the meantime, the Blue Reapers were flying busily through the sky, they were going around as if they were going to shower everyone in Mapo-gu with water droplets.

< Protect the people! Please! >

The Blue Reapers, who had been haphazardly covering people with protective shields, quickly lost their light and looked exhausted, but they kept flying away to somewhere, recovering, and returning.

There was also a white Hungry Ghost on fire who was giving warmth to the people who had come out onto the street.

“Kyuuuuuu.”

A White Hungry Ghost with a resentful expression approached the woman and burned itself to drive away the cold.

For some reason, the Hungry Ghost bonfire smelled sweet.

*********

The Hungry Ghost Reaper burned the fake Reapers while the Black Reaper snapped the neck of the giant fake Reaper.

Ah, it’s nice…

I should have taken Yerin with me from the start, but I didn’t know it would be such a difficult Object, which was my mistake.

When I looked up at the sky, the yellow full moon was getting smaller and smaller.

As the mini reapers moved around and became more active, the Yellow Moon’s presence began to shrink.

Was it because the fear of people is fading?

If I think about the nature of the Yellow Moon, that must be the case.

The sun would soon rise.

And when the sun rises, the conditions for the Yellow Moon’s destruction would be met.

As soon as I confirmed that the Yellow Moon was destroyed, I wanted to lock myself in the containment room and rest for a month.

After living on the streets of Mapo-gu for a week, I really missed the warm and comfortable Sehee Research Institute.

How should I torment the Yellow Reaper, I wonder? I have to torment them as much as they make me suffer…

While I was imagining how to harass the Mini-Reaper that would appear after I destroy the Yellow Moon, I heard Yerin’s voice.

“Reaper, look at this. There’s a lot of talk about the Reapers on TV.”

Yerin patted my antenna and showed me a video from her smartphone.

A scene where the Golden Reapers walked around to guide people to safety.

A scene where the Black Reaper strikes the fake giant reaper while making a pose.

A scene where the Hungry Ghost Reaper saves people by cutting down the fake reapers with graceful movements.

A scene where the Orange Reapers transport the Golden Reapers while driving the cloud fish.

Just how did they film all that kind of stuff?

While thinking this, I looked up at the sky and saw a bunch of black-painted drones flying around in the sky.

Probably because of the broadcast, I felt that most of the humans within my range of perception were exuding friendly feelings toward me.

At this point, I couldn’t even guess how many people in all of Seoul would be kind to me.

I had a feeling that those countless kind people would chase me all the way to Sehee Research Institute to bother me.

I frowned at the thought of a situation that would disturb my peaceful life at Sehee Research Institute.
