-----------------------------------------------------------------
side Yoo Jin-seok
Yoo Jin-seok was spending a peaceful day with his old friend Shin Ji-un for the first time in a while.
It was because of the rest order from the Association now that the war was over.
Though he could take time off whenever he wanted anyway.
Shin Ji-un was munching on a leg of dried squid that cost 13,000 won from the magic market.
"That bastard Ha Jeong-seok's got it easy now. He struck gold thanks to Whitey, but he cut her off from politics early on."
Shin Ji-un scowled as he watched Ha Jeong-seok giving a speech on the magic screen installed on the building.
"Whitey?"
"Your little sister Yoo Eun-ha. Her hair's silver-white, so Whitey fits. I figured you'd have killed Ha Jeong-seok over Whitey by now, but you held back nicely?"
Come to think of it, Whitey did suit her. It was cute, too.
Even now, he still had no idea when or how she'd awakened, which meant he'd paid too little attention to his sister.
From now on, he wanted to be a better big brother.
And Ha Jeong-seok? Yeah, he wanted to kill him. The guy was strutting around after one good negotiation, even handing over the special hunter position and telling him to lead the Baekhwa Church villains.
Of course, Baekhwa Church had already been approved as an autonomous territory and joined the righteous army to earn merits, so it wasn't just some evil monster villain group.
So he didn't think badly of them entirely.
If anything, it was a relief that the idiot Ha Jeong-seok wasn't planning to use his sister and discard her like a worn-out rag.
Above all, getting famous at a young age meant a lot of hassle.
He'd gone through it himself since his cadet days.
And Eun-ha was dealing with it at an even younger age, so how annoying must it be for her?
"She said she's fine with it, so what can I do? Getting famous young is exhausting anyway."
"True, you went through that."
"Eun-ha becoming a hunter in this situation? Foreign countries won't let her go. Plus, her looks have her a ton of overseas fans."
Her being a girl amplified it even more.
In Korea, there was even a fan club called Galaxy Unit, and Galaxy Moms.
Come to think of it, the Galaxy Moms called her Whitey too.
Overseas, especially Japan was chanting 'internal unity' and trying to recruit her, but Shinoha stayed silent.
Unlike the prime minister, Shinoha actually held power but seemed indifferent—though who knew what they really thought.
"Whitey's got that exotic mixed Western-Eastern face, so she gets good vibes everywhere."
"You wouldn't."
Yoo Jin-seok's hand went to the sword at his waist, and Shin Ji-un shook his head.
"Hey, I don't like younger girls like Eun-ha? I prefer older women who look more mature."
"Drop that married woman fetish already."
Even back in cadet days, he'd said he liked mature hunter women who were good with housework and easy to talk to, and apparently that hadn't changed.
Hunters these days aged slowly, so most stayed looking in their 20s to early 30s. Made it hard to find the type Shin Ji-un wanted.
'Though even among civilians, they're rare.'
"Says the guy turning down all the girls throwing themselves at him. Why?"
"I don't wanna be tied down by a woman."
In truth, he figured he should marry for kids someday, but couldn't find the right person.
More than that, his sister worried him most.
Sure, it was better than some unheard-of guys swarming her, but who could've predicted her relationship with Seo Ji-yeon?
"Aren't you still hung up on the Divine Sword?"
"The Divine Sword was just a sword. Feeling guilty and chained to its noble sacrifice? Even a dog wouldn't want that."
He just wasn't ready yet, plain and simple.
Sorry to the girls waiting patiently, but it was impossible.
"Hey, there's Whitey. Wanna tail her? Got nothing better to do."
Shin Ji-un spotted his sister in academy uniform walking down the street far ahead.
Tail her? What kind of nonsense was that?
"You crazy bastard."
Was he one of those thugs after his sister? Should he kill him?
"Aren't you curious? What our war hero does on normal days. You know nothing about Whitey's routine, right?"
But hearing Shin Ji-un out, it kinda made sense.
"Hmm."
Come to think of it, he had no clue what she did daily.
Maybe checking on her routine would be a good big brother move.
So Yoo Jin-seok decided to tail his little sister.
Eun-ha entered an ice cream shop, her antennae-like stray hairs bouncing.
But she wasn't alone.
"That's her, right? The one who came out with Baekhwa. From Baekhwa Church. Teleporter."
"Yeah."
"She just bought six mint choco cones? No way she's feeding that to a kid?"
"Hmm."
Mint choco. That was a shock.
It was divisive, sure, but he never thought his sister would feed mint choco to a kid.
Maybe because it was Baekhwa Church.
Taking over Baekhwa Church turned her into a monster feeding anyone mint choco?
"Whoa, Whitey's scarfing it down too? Even ordered more."
Bad assumption. His sister liked mint choco too.
After finishing her ice cream, she said goodbye to the kid.
The kid opened a gate alone and slipped inside.
As Eun-ha walked the street again, her magic gear rang.
"Call from Ji-yeon?"
She looked thrilled, so probably Ji-yeon.
But she ducked into a shady alley.
Ji-yeon wouldn't pick a spot like that. And it wasn't a love hotel either.
"Long time no see, noona? Busy as a war hero?"
"It's been a while, Geum Tae-yang."
Eun-ha was meeting some punk.
"What the hell? That tacky blond tanned orphan-looking kid?"
"Nah, couldn't be."
"They seem to know each other already, and she doesn't look threatened. Why would Whitey meet that guy?"
Shin Ji-un sounded suspicious.
"Something's off. Let's watch."
"Hate to say it, but maybe Whitey's a girl who likes guys after all."
"What?"
"Look at that bulge in his pants. Massive, right?"
Shin Ji-un pointed at Geum Tae-yang's crotch.
It was huge. Impossible to hide. And his sister was staring right at it.
"You think my sister's a sex maniac?"
"Not that, but if you're doing it, might as well make it feel amazing. Whitey probably wants the same. Meeting Ji-yeon separately and all."
"No way."
His sister wouldn't two-time like an idiot. No, impossible. But the situation looked fishy.
Soon after, they parted ways.
"Oh. Unexpected. Split quick. Business associates maybe?"
Good. Business. If she'd gone to a motel with that guy, he'd rip his dick off at the root.
Eun-ha stepped back onto the street, grinning wickedly.
"Heh heh heh. Got a nice piercing."
She held something and laughed sinisterly.
"Why's Whitey laughing like that?"
"What'd she get from him?"
He wanted to run up and ask, but if she caught him tailing, she'd hate it. Better hold back.
He'd heard not to pry into a girl's secrets.
"What if that blond tanner's power makes women climax with words?"
"You asshole!"
"Whoa, she's hitting on a girl now? Total lesbian. Cheating on Ji-yeon left and right."
He almost punched the nonsense out of Shin Ji-un, but damn, his sister was seducing a street girl.
Arm around the shoulder, holding hands—her moves screamed succubus.
She grabbed the girl's hand and headed off.
"Motel this time?"
"Looks like a one-night stand."
It was real. She took her street pickup to a motel.
So easy to seduce. What was wrong with that girl, falling for another woman? Maybe he needed to educate his sister properly.
"Girls with girls... how do I even react?"
"Shut up."
"Hey, look. Ji-yeon's here."
A bit later, Ji-yeon showed up fuming and stormed into the motel his sister had entered.
Soon, she dragged his sister out by her antennae-like hair.
Shin Ji-un laughed at the pitiful sight, so Yoo Jin-seok jabbed his side.
"Ow ow ow. Check this out."
"First your wife, and now street girls? You're done for today!"
She yanked his ears too, making him scream.
Yoo Jin-seok and Shin Ji-un were stunned.
Ji-yeon was dropping formal speech.
"I won't hit on anyone else! No more street girls!"
"You idiot! How can you say that? I can't live like this!"
Outside the motel, she got an earful.
Pathetic, but self-inflicted. Yoo Jin-seok held back.
"Street girls means she hits on others?"
"Shin Ji-un, shut it."
His mind was already a mess; the peanut gallery was tempting him to start something.
"Fine, whatever."
Ji-yeon forgave her again. How good-natured was she?
"Man, she's too nice. Famous girls allow cheating?"
Was Ji-yeon always that lenient? Understandable since it was her girl, but still.
Her next words shocked him.
"I already know you sleep around everywhere."
Sleeping around? Had his sister already lost her virginity? To a guy? Wild thoughts flooded his mind, worry surging.
No, she's a lesbian. Probably not. He shook it off and kept watching, but a new person appeared.
"Oh, Eun-ha. What're you doing here?"
The platinum blonde elf acting familiar was rare in Korea. Otherworlders were few, and pureblood long-eared elves even rarer.
How'd Eun-ha make a connection like that?
"Rachel?"
"Who's this chick?"
His sister fidgeted between Rachel and Seo Ji-yeon.
"That, uh. Um."
"I'm Rachel, Eun-ha's wife-to-be. And you?"
"I'm Eun-ha's wife too."
The elf Rachel and Seo Ji-yeon glared daggers.
After arguing over who was the main wife, his sister snapped.
"Stop it! Don't fight over me!"
"It's because of you!"
"Quit acting like some tragic princess!"
Ji-yeon and Rachel grabbed his sister's ears and dragged her off.
Shin Ji-un gaped at the sight.
"What kind of life has your sister been living?"
"Yeah. Makes me realize how indifferent I've been."
Resolved to communicate more, Yoo Jin-seok eyed Shin Ji-un staring at Eun-ha and debated drawing his sword.
"You're not seriously after Eun-ha, right?"
"Nah. Just curious about something."
"What?"
"Whitey's golden eyes and white flames. Kinda like Azidahaka, no?"
Golden snake eyes and white flames.
Similar, sure, but why bring it up?
He wasn't calling his sister Azidahaka now, was he?
"So my little sister's Azidahaka?"
"The overwhelming power too. Just saying. Last record of Azidahaka was after you and Whitey were born."
"You know that and still say it?"
Azidahaka remained the world's ultimate terror.
Linking his cute sister to that? Unforgivable. He glared, ready to smack him, but Shin Ji-un waved it off.
"Just that if she's using powers like Azidahaka, Korea's safe for a while. That's all."
Yoo Jin-seok stared at his sister being dragged away.
Nah, no way.
He punched Shin Ji-un and tossed him into the Taehwa Guild building.
"Gah! Can't even joke? You damn siscon!"
"Master! How'd this happen?!"
Guild members rushed out to help him up.
"Fuck. Make your master train daily so he can't spout bullshit. Ruins my ears every time."
Linking his adorable sister to Azidahaka. Next time, he'd make sure the bastard never used steel powers again. Yoo Jin-seok vowed it.
"Wait."
Heading home, a question hit him.
"Isn't today not an academy holiday?"
His sister was proudly skipping academy to fool around.
That needed addressing.
