The Magic Hunter Girl Decorates the Dungeon! Episode 107
Before Lee Ji’s bitterly cold response.
Si-heon suddenly pictured Lee Ji’s situation in concrete detail.
Lee Ji was an elementary school student living alone with a surrogate mother.
The money she’d made early on by selling Magic Stones had all been spent on Geum-hui and miscellaneous items.
After her retirement, Geum-hui seemed to have no real job—she was still just another run-of-the-mill F-ranked Hunter.
The potions from the unlicensed hospital doctor went to injured people she’d met in dungeons or to Geum-hui herself; the rest were simply hoarded away.
‘I thought that having cleared quite a few dungeons by now, maybe she’d somehow managed to save a little money on the side…….’
Hadn’t she essentially just been doing vigilante work the whole time?
‘I was the one getting rich. All the money I made went straight into her equipment!’
While Si-heon was struck with the sudden realization of how thoughtless he’d been.
Lee Ji spoke in a slightly wavering voice.
“I’m sorry. If I’d just worked harder…… maybe I could have made it happen…….”
“……It’s okay!”
Ha-rin bit her lower lip and forced brightness into her tone.
“Hmph, honestly, it’s not like we really needed it! I just liked having somewhere quiet to be alone, and I liked the Electronic Organ a little, that’s all!”
“You can play piano at school, can’t you?”
“The teacher listens to that. ……Sometimes I get excited playing by myself, but the moment I think about someone criticizing whether I was good or bad, my hands freeze up.”
“Unnie…….”
“Enough. I’m really fine! Teenagers grow through loss. The Moon Bullet members said that, and it actually seems true.”
“That makes sense. That’s so cool……!”
Between the two girls’ touching conversation, Si-heon lost his chance to interject.
‘If I jump in now and say “I’ll give it a try,” I’m just some tactless, romance-blind middle-aged man!’
But the moment he was searching for words, Lee Ji spoke first.
“King Rabbit. What happens to those Hunters?”
“When the dungeon closes, I put them under hypnosis so they’ll leave on their own after ten minutes. They’ll forget they ever saw you.”
“Understood. Thank you for coming so suddenly and helping us!”
“Listen, I actually—”
His words about the dungeon were swallowed whole as Grimoire forcibly terminated Si-heon’s summon.
After Black King Rabbit vanished.
In a place where all adult complications had dissolved away.
Lee Ji formally introduced herself to her friend.
“I’m Shin Lee Ji. I’m in third grade, class 2 at Chamssae Elementary School. I’m an Awakener, and…… I’m a Magic Girl.”
“So it really exists, Maestoso……wait, M-Maestro! Marcato!”
‘Unnie just recited a magic spell!’
Seeing Ha-rin’s bewildered expression, Lee Ji suddenly understood why.
“Oh right. The word ‘Magic Girl’ will be hard to say outside. There’s a spell on me that protects my secret.”
“Wow…….”
“Of course, even without that kind of magic, I trust you to keep my identity secret!”
Ha-rin’s eyes, which had been shining brightly, dimmed as she belatedly spoke her mind.
“Um, last time I said it was stupid to believe in Magic Girls and didn’t believe you. I’m sorry. If there’s anything I can help with later, just tell me everything.”
“It’s fine.”
Her heart felt much lighter.
She now had someone to whom she’d revealed her secret, exchanged apologies and forgiveness with.
It felt like gaining both a friend and a teammate at once.
And now that she thought of ‘teammate’—
“Unnie. Can I ask you for one favor?”

* * *
Ten minutes later. Just as Si-heon had said, the two Hunters stood up and spoke nonsensically.
“Uh…… we did check out all the goods, right?”
“Yes…… let’s go report it.”
“Right. But somehow…… it feels like from now on, we shouldn’t say anything mean to children.”
“Me too. Especially people who threaten kids—it feels like we should be chased around by moths for that…….”
After the two Hunters left.
The two children took the Electronic Organ from the Meditation Room and moved it into the dungeon.
Ha-rin fixed the organ securely on the Sandy Beach and spoke.
“‘Hug Me’ was the transformation scene, right?”
“Yeah!”
“It’s a cheap organ so it won’t make the best sound. Don’t expect too much.”
Soon a cheerful melody poured out.
Doo-roo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doot-doo—
‘It’s so much better than the YouTube video!’
It felt like her ears were opening for the first time.
While Ha-rin played the piece.
“Gardener’s Song!”
A spreading skyblue light first wrapped around Ha-rin.
‘No wait. I can’t set up unnie!’
Lee Ji quickly averted her gaze before Ha-rin could notice the light.
Soon the blue light hovered around the keyboard—
Doo-roo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doot-doo—
Trapping it in the speech bubble, success!
Musical notes inside the light bubble spun around like sparkles, glittering and whirling.
Ha-rin, who had been playing the keyboard for a while, lifted her head briefly and stared at the sight with her mouth hanging open.
‘If I absorb the balloon……!’
Remaining Decoration Points 3/12
[Special Decoration Element]
: Magical Girl Aura, Entrance! by. Kim Ha-rin with. Abandoned Electronic Organ
A message appeared that Lee Ji had never seen before.
It wasn’t an object she could place somewhere like a flower; it just took that shape.
‘What can I decorate with this?’
She wanted to shout out the Gardener’s Song skill right now.
But for now, calming down Ha-rin—whose jaw had gone slack—seemed the priority.
“Lee Ji! What was that just now? That pretty balloon!”
“My magic. I trap music inside it.”
“Other music too? Huh? Can you make more pretty ones?”
The moment Lee Ji nodded without thinking, Ha-rin grabbed the keyboard again. A refined melody flowed out.
This time Ha-rin even hummed along.
“You’ll, be-lieve in, me, just, me, on-ly!”
Probably a Moon Bullet song.
Unable to betray Ha-rin’s heart, which was so utterly absorbed, Lee Ji ended up speaking one more phrase.
“Gardener’s Song!”
Inside the speech bubble, notes swirled round and round, far longer than before. Ha-rin’s eyes shone, brimming with sparkling notes.
“Wow, so pretty! It would be amazing waving this at a concert!”
Even though she knew it was something she couldn’t keep, Ha-rin liked it so much that.
Lee Ji decided not to regret that she now had only two Decoration Points remaining.
Remaining Decoration Points 2/12
[Special Decoration Element]
: Magical Logical by. Kim Ha-rin with. Abandoned Electronic Organ
‘Where do I use this music?’
“Can you do it one more time? This time I want to try popping the balloon!”
“I can’t do any more. I’m exhausted.”
“Aw…… ahem! Okay then. But what are those balloons for?”
“Let me check now. Gardener’s Song!”
[▷Extract Decoration Item]
[▶Decorate Area with Items I Have]
[▷Garden Decoration Elements]
[▶Special Decoration Elements]
‘The bottom option!’
The Special Decoration Elements she now possessed numbered two.
: Magical Girl Aura, Entrance! by. Kim Ha-rin with. Abandoned Electronic Organ
: Magical Logical by. Kim Ha-rin with. Abandoned Electronic Organ
Selecting the top one brought up the description.
[Magical Girl Aura, Entrance!]
: The song that plays during the transformation of the Magical Girl protagonist of “Hug Me☆Pink Me”. Even though the scene appears every single day, it never gets old. It brings peace of mind that every crisis will be resolved.
: Increased Focus / Increased Skill Success Rate
Choose a skill to decorate
Of course the answer was already decided.
“Magical Girl Daisy, Transform!”
The moment the words left her mouth, the balloon she’d seen before shot up into the sky—
Pop!
Silver sparkles fell with a cheerful sound.
The skill window opened immediately. Behind the words “Magical Girl Daisy, Transform!” silver musical notes scattered like confetti.
‘So pretty……!’
Lee Ji decided to check the effects of the second song right away. And her eyes widened immediately.
[Magical Logical]
: The title track of Moon Bullet’s second album. Behind a youth song that metaphorically compares mutual first love where gazes keep overlapping to magic, the repeated refrain “You’ll only believe in me” and the album’s witch concept offer the pleasure of a thoughtful reinterpretation.
: For 4 minutes and 13 seconds, the other person will believe what you say.
: However, this applies only when you harbor no intention of harming them.
Choose a skill to decorate
Again, there was only one choice that came to mind.
“Magical Girl Wants to Share a Story!”
Whoosh! The balloon full of notes flew up and burst more spectacularly than before.
Just as the sparkles faded from her eyes, Ha-rin asked.
“Lee Ji. What was that just now?”
“I cast magic on my own magic! It’s all thanks to unnie’s playing.”
“Really?”
“Yeah! The second song was really good too! Unnie sings well!”
“……Um. So then, Lee Ji.”
Ha-rin gritted her teeth and spoke.
“Can I go into the Hunter world too? I’ll practice hard on the piano!”
A sentence she’d forgotten suddenly glimmered in her mind.
‘Setting up a performer?’
