Seoul Object Story

“The weather’s nice.”

The short-haired girl’s hair sparkled in the warm sunlight as she muttered, sitting by the window.

Her eyes reflected the scenery outside perfectly.

Newly constructed buildings and people who still seemed unfamiliar with the city.

This was the ‘Special Management Zone for Object Invasion Victims’ located on the outskirts of Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Also known as the Roll Cake Special Zone.

This place used to be filled with buildings owned by James Research Institute, but now it had become a place for people like ‘Big Sister’ to live.

Originally, the special zone was planned to be set up in a more dangerous area, but thanks to James Research Institute providing this area for Object invasion victims, they were able to live here.

The short-haired girl sat by the window, observing the ‘Roll Cake Special Zone’, while slowly stroking the hair of the Golden Armored Reaper, which was now fully equipped with armor.

Blue sky, warm sunlight, and the streets filled with vitality.

Although anyone might feel anxious about being forced into such an isolation zone and having to start a new life, the atmosphere on the streets showed no signs of such feelings.

Instead of anxiety, there was only a positive vibe, and the reason for this could be easily found anywhere you looked in the city.

The giant pinwheel rising in the center of the special zone.

Evidence that Golden Reapers were roaming around in abundance.

The pinwheel, made of candy, cookies, and chocolate, slowly rotated, spreading a sweet fragrance throughout the entire special zone.

“Phew.”

The girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The warm sunlight seeping through the window gently caressed her face.

‘Golden Reaper scent.’

Along with it, a sun-like fragrance made her heart feel even more at ease.

When she opened her eyes and looked down, she saw a figure directing the city maintenance work.

It was James, the owner of James Research Institute.

At first glance, he looked competent and serious, but one bizarre aspect completely overturned his overall impression.

On top of James’s head sat a golden Reaper, moving both hands as if controlling his hair.

It was a scene that brought a warm smile to one’s face.

“Hehe.”

The short-haired girl let out a small laugh at the sight.

As she was enjoying the lively view outside, she suddenly felt the house was too quiet.

‘Where did Big Sister go?’

The short-haired girl turned her gaze from the window to look inside, but the house was now empty.

“Sis?”

As the short-haired girl got up and slowly walked, she found a hastily scribbled note from her sister.

<I’ll be back soon. I bought some food and put it in the fridge, eat if you’re hungry.>

Food?

What did she buy?

The short-haired girl put the note in her pocket and approached the fridge without thinking, opening its door.

At that moment, something shouted “Boo!” and an unidentified monster-like thing jumped out at her.

“Kyaaah!”

The short-haired girl screamed in shock, her face turning pale.

A few seconds later, after identifying the monster-like thing, the short-haired girl squished it vigorously with an extremely angry expression.

“Sis! I told you to stop doing that! How many times is this now?”

The short-haired girl felt like her heart dropped several times a day because her sister, who was mischievous to begin with, had been playing too many Dullahan pranks since becoming a roll cake.

“Ow, I’m getting squished!”

Even as her head was being squished, Big Sister was giggling as if it was fun.
