The Fighting Dog of a Ruined Organization

To get straight to the conclusion, we survived.
We were perfectly fine without a single injury.

Except for Eris.

“Huu, huuee…”

Even though such a huge sphere of light engulfed us, no one was hurt. Not even a single object was broken, everything was intact.

Eris, feeling dizzy, danced unsteadily and then collapsed on the floor.

“Young miss boss!”

Since everyone else was fine but only Eris was strange, I hurried to her to check her condition. Eris was panting, dripping with cold sweat.

“Hyeo, Hyeonu… I think I’m going to die…”

“Yu Jin-ri! Why is the young miss boss like this now?”

“Huh…what?”

Yu Jin-ri was still cowering with her body curled up, but when I asked in a normal voice, she finally checked the situation.

Yu Jin-ri approached Eris and looked at her physical condition here and there, then nodded as if she understood.

“It’s because a large amount of magi was released all at once. It’s a kind of anemia.”

“A kind of anemia? Magi is bad for the body, so why does such a symptom occur when it leaves the body?”

“People with magi addiction have bodies that accumulate magi because they want it that much. We don’t know why they want it, but for now, it’s not good for a lot of magi to leave at once.”

“Then does the young miss boss get like this every time she uses magic?”

“If she could use magic properly, nothing would happen. But the problem is that the boss isn’t familiar with using magic right now.”

“I see…”

Eris’s physical condition was resolved with this, Shizu brought water and started nursing Eris by feeding her.

“Then the next question, why are we all fine when Eris’s magi exploded?”

“I’ve been wondering about that too, so I kept making guesses. And I formed a hypothesis. With clear evidence, this hypothesis is probably accurate.”

“What is it?”

“The magi that the boss’s body accepts and accumulates loses its aggressiveness, and instead gains healing power.”

“What…?”

“As evidence, look at my eyes. The dark circles are gone, right?”

Come to think of it, Yu Jin-ri’s eyes, which had been filled with fatigue from staying up all night, had returned to normal. They had been sunken with dark circles, but now they’re so bright that I want to punch her once.

“You’re right. I feel energetic too.”

I was also tired from staying up all night on guard, but now I feel energetic.

“You feel energetic?”

Yu Jin-ri stared at my lower body.

“I’d like to see how energetic it is. It’s just simple curiosity.”

This crazy woman, I told her to do it with someone she loves, but she’s trying to satisfy her curiosity by loving me on her own.

I won’t do it even if I die, so do whatever the fuck you want.

“Stop talking nonsense and find a way to control the young miss boss’s magi.”

“There’s no such thing. Practice is the only way to survive.”

“So you mean the young miss boss should faint every day from now on?”

“What can we do? Without the staff, she wouldn’t have been able to use magi at all. This is the best we can do right now. It would be a loss if we can’t do more important research because we’re focusing on something that can be solved with practice.”

“More important research, right. What are you planning to research next?”

“There’s a lot to research, but the problem is that the boss’s magi can’t have aggressiveness.”

“Can’t that be solved by using the magi in the air?”

“No. Even when using magi from the air, it passes through the user’s body once, so it will be affected by the boss.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Since the advanced theory of magic was eliminated by the Fallen God, the best we can do now is to research magi circuits, process them, and then implant them.”

“Magi circuits?”

“Yes, magi circuits. I said that even magi in the air passes through the body once when used, right? That pathway is called a magi circuit. Magi must pass through magi circuits to become magic. The boss’s magic having healing power is also due to the influence of magi circuits.”

“Can you research such things?”

“It should be possible if we use magi addiction patients. If we can use that staff.”

“Explain in detail.”

“The methodology for using magi in the air has disappeared. If it existed, anyone could practice magic with a staff.”

But, again, that methodology doesn’t exist.

“So in the end, we have no choice but to practice using magi from one’s own body, and based on this, try to induce the use of magi from the air. The only condition that allows this is magi addiction patients.”

So to research magi circuits, we need to support magi addiction patients in learning magic, but…

“You’re smart, so I think you’ll know the problem that arises at this point?”

“Yeah, I think I get it. Since magi circuits are in the body, you’d have to dissect to research them, right?”

“That’s correct. If we could just dissect, we could copy and process it as much as we want.”

Teaching magic to magi addiction patients and then dissecting them. Isn’t that something that shouldn’t be done humanely?

Moreover, if a magi addiction patient refuses and resists, who knows what crisis might come.

“But the reason you brought this up is because you have a way, right?”

“That’s right. Have you ever seen me talk without a plan?”

Yu Jin-ri pushed up her glasses with a confident smile. I want to break those glasses.

“Humans may have forgotten how to use magic, but monsters are still using magic. And among monsters, there are cases where one body has multiple magi circuits.”

“So if we research such monsters, we can create and implant magi circuits?”

“That’s exactly it!”

“Then who’s going to catch these monsters, you crazy woman.”

As I looked at her incredulously, Yu Jin-ri looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“Fuck, I almost died catching one goblin, and you want me to catch monsters that use magic?”

“Yes!”

“I can’t just throw this at the monsters either.”

“Hmm, so you won’t do it? Even though it’s absolutely necessary for the boss’s magic?”

“The problem is that you’re telling me to catch them, not kill them, you bastard. If it was killing, I would have done it somehow.”

“Don’t worry about that! The Esper Hunter has researched and is selling tools that can capture them alive!”

“The Esper Hunter…?”

Scientific research is usually done by Carpe Diem, so I’m confused by the sudden mention of the Esper Hunter.

“Yes! The Hyeonmu Guild has quite impressive scientific capabilities. The Hyeonmu Guild leader, Min Ga-yeon, is a scientist I respect. She’s really amazing!”

I took out my phone and searched for Min Ga-yeon. As soon as I searched, the face of the Esper Hunter Hyeonmu Guild leader appeared.

She was a woman wearing a black choker and glasses,

With sharp eyes containing purple pupils, she looks keen, but this is mitigated by her rimless glasses.

And maybe because her hair has soft waves while slightly revealing her forehead and covering one eye? There’s a coexistence of a cool, intellectual image and a relaxed, leisurely image.

What kind of animal is Hyeonmu?

Isn’t it a shape mixed with a snake and a turtle?

If Choi Ji-a of the Suzaku Guild was only similar to Suzaku in color, Min Ga-yeon of the Hyeonmu Guild was similar to the image of Hyeonmu. She was Hyeonmu itself.

But judging by her purple eyes, she must be a possessed person. What trash.

“Hey, don’t respect her. Her eyes are purple. She’s possessed.”

“I respect her brain, not her humanity.”

“Then that’s fine.”

If her ability is respectable, it can’t be helped. Even if someone is bad, if there’s a respectable part, it’s natural to respect that.

“So, what should I search for to find the device that captures monsters alive?”

“Oh! You should search for ‘Monmusu-fication collar’!”

“Monmusu…?”

Fuck, what’s with this name.

I was an orphan, so I did a lot of otaku stuff to escape reality. So I know what the word ‘monmusu’ means.

Monster musume (young lady).

In other words, it refers to a fictional character that’s a monster but mixed with human appearance to make it female.

But a Monmusu-fication collar? Isn’t it like a collar that, if put on the goblin shaman I killed, would instantly turn it into a shrine maiden goblin girl?

“Ah, no way.”

“What is it?”

“That such a thing exists.”

For now, if I speak carelessly, I might be treated as a creepy otaku. I should be careful with my words until it’s revealed that this world is creepy.

So I searched for the Monmusu-fication collar.

“Why… why do the collars range in price from 1 million won to 1 billion won?”

There are a fuck ton of different types of collars, and the prices are distributed in a fuck ton of variety.

Let’s read the description first…

–

Monmusu-fication collar!

Basically, there are two types: one that looks like an accessory choker and one that looks like a dog collar.

Whether it’s a choker or a collar, if you put it on a monster, it transforms into a beautiful young lady! On top of that, all of its power as a monster is sealed, so it becomes an ordinary human.

Do you want to have a pure love with a cute monster girl? Then buy a choker!

Do you want to have a pure love with training, rape, and female breeding with a cute monster girl? Then buy a collar!

The higher the price, the more similar it becomes to human form. For example, if you put this collar on a cat monster!

If you put on a cheap collar, it becomes like a furry humanoid that can only satisfy unique tastes,

If you put on a 1 billion won collar, a cute cat-eared girl is born! It becomes like a human in cosplay.

If you have unique tastes, you can buy a cheap one~ But if you don’t want to be socially ostracized as a pervert, you should keep it well confined at home.

By the way, even if it looks human, its intelligence doesn’t increase, so we recommend not using it on low-intelligence monsters unless you have unique tastes.

And it has no effect on humans, so there’s no point in using it. Don’t use it on humans!

※Caution, if the choker comes off while having too intense pure love, it will return to being a monster, so be careful.

“This… seems like it would have a limited buyer base.”

“It’s certainly a bit of an unpleasant item, isn’t it? There are perfectly normal human women, so why catch monsters and turn them into girls?”

“Still, it’s fortunate that there’s a 1 million won one. It shouldn’t be too burdensome.”

“What are you saying? You should buy the 1 billion won one.”

“Why? Why on earth?”

“If the form is different from humans, we can’t research and implant magi circuits even if we dissect it. Humans and monsters fundamentally have different magi circuits.”

“Where do we have 1 billion won…?”

“That’s why we need to earn it somehow!”

It’s easy to say, fuck.

I want to go around shaking down everyone with promissory notes, but I can’t do that because Eris might get ambushed in the meantime.

“For now, we didn’t bring a change of clothes, so let’s just go home.”

“Let’s do that! We’re in great shape thanks to the boss’s magic!”

Thanks to that, Eris is about to die though.

Thanks to that, I’ve recovered too, so I lifted Eris up. Her body is so light that it’s not burdensome at all to carry her in a princess hold.

“Let’s think about it when we get home. For breakfast… let’s just order a bowl of jajangmyeon or something.”

As we returned home like that, we were able to pick up the third Red-eyed Mad Dog.

A clear warning message.

I wonder if it’s okay to eat jajangmyeon, but they won’t cause trouble without reason in broad daylight. Since Eris isn’t in a condition to eat outside right now, it’s better to eat at home.

And soon after, I heard a knocking sound at the door, and thinking the jajangmyeon had arrived, I opened it, but,

“Sa, save me, please…”

There was a polar bear whose white body was dyed red with blood.

Having lost even the title above its head.
